Abstract
In this beginner’s guide to solid-state drive (SSD) firmware, we have explored the key concepts and techniques that are essential for designing, optimizing, and maintaining SSD firmware. We have looked at the role of firmware in the functioning of SSDs and the importance of keeping the firmware up to date to ensure optimal performance and security. We have also discussed some of the advanced features that are included in modern SSD firmware, such as wear-leveling algorithms, garbage-collection algorithms, error prevention and correction methods, and algorithms to reduce write amplification.
