Zusammenfassung:A hybrid storage device includes at least a first storage device operating under a first storage interface protocol, at least a second storage device operating under a second storage interface protocol, and a drive controller interface. The drive controller interface has a front-end for connecting to a host via a host interface protocol, a back-end for connecting to the first storage device via the first storage interface protocol, and to the second storage device via the second storage interface protocol, and a respective translation module for translating between the host interface protocol and a respective one of the first and second storage interface protocols. The hybrid storage device may be included in a hybrid storage system with a host processor. The host interface protocol may be the same as one of the first and second storage interface protocols, such as NVMe. The protocols may be implemented in hardware or software.
