Picture the hardware of a solid-state drive (SSD) as the engine of a car, and the firmware as the driver who controls and optimizes its performance. In the SSD world, firmware takes center stage, fine-tuning every interaction between the physical components and the digital world. This chapter embarks on a journey to unveil the firmware’s pivotal role in SSDs, breaking down its intricate responsibilities and how it makes things happen.
