In this chapter, we will discuss the design considerations for solid-state drive (SSD) firmware. We will start by discussing the different types of SSDs and their requirements. We will then discuss the different components of SSD firmware and how they interact with each other. We will also discuss the different challenges that need to be addressed in the design of SSD firmware.
