Paragraph Number

18

In one embodiment, the solid-state storage device includes a system I/O bus connecting the controller to an external device. In another embodiment, the solid-state storage device is configured in a dual-inline memory module (“DIMM”). In another embodiment, the data packets written to the solid-state storage by the write data pipeline and the requested data packets read from the solid-state memory into the read data pipeline are multiplexed together onto the storage I/O bus. In various embodiments, the solid-state storage of the solid-state storage device may be nano random access memory (“nano RAM” or “NRAM”), magneto-resistive RAM (“MRAM”), dynamic RAM (“DRAM”), phase change RAM (“PRAM”) flash memory, etc. In another embodiment, the write data pipeline includes a write program module that includes one or more user-definable functions within the write data pipeline. In yet another embodiment, the read data pipeline includes a read program module that includes one or more user-definable functions within the read data pipeline.
