Patent Images
1. A semiconductor storage device (SSD) system architecture based on a configurable hybrid redundant array of independent disks (RAID) storage, comprising:
- a hybrid RAID controller coupled to a host computer; and
a set of storage drives coupled to the hybrid RAID controller, wherein the hybrid RAID controller is adapted to evaluate a set of storage performance parameters and dynamically change the RAID configuration of each of the set of storage drives based on the evaluation.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a semiconductor storage device (SSD) system based on hybrid RAID storage. Specifically, embodiments of this invention provide a set of (at least one) RAID controllers coupled to a host computer. A set of storage drives is coupled to each hybrid RAID controller. The RAID method and configuration of each storage device are dynamically adapted based on user policy parameters and storage performance characteristics.
