US Patent Issued to Sandisk Technologies on June 9 for "Host bandwidth limited SSDs with high-rate NANDs" (Israeli Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,650,771, issued on June 9, was assigned to Sandisk Technologies Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.).

"Host bandwidth limited SSDs with high-rate NANDs" was invented by Amir Segev (Meiter, Israel) and Shay Benisty (Beer Sheva, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "When the overall NAND bandwidth exceeds the bandwidth of a host device, back pressure builds and the full potential of the NAND is not utilized. This back pressure may be relieved by NAND arbitration, where a device controller selects and interleaves different sets of NANDs over the course of subsequent states. The number of NANDs that participate in this arbitration depends on the host spee...
