Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of large-scale storage systems, in particular to a file layout method capable of simultaneously improving reliability and read performance in an SSD-based large-scale storage system. Background technique
[0002] A flash-based SSD (Solid State Drive, solid state disk) is a new type of large-scale storage device, which is widely used in high-end storage systems due to its low latency, high bandwidth, and low power consumption. However, flash-based SSDs also have some inherent drawbacks. First, flash-based SSDs have a limited lifespan. Each storage unit of flash memory has a limited number of write times. Once the number of write times exceeds the limit, the storage unit becomes unreliable and may cause data loss. SSD needs to adopt some technologies to ensure the reliability of data. Secondly, garbage collection is performed periodically inside the SSD. During garbage collection, the read and write latency of the SS...
