Abstract

Welcome to the world of SSD firmware! This chapter marks the beginning of your journey into the intricate world of solid-state drive (SSD) firmware.

My goal is to provide you with a clear understanding of what SSDs are, the role of firmware in optimizing their performance, and the key differences that set SSDs apart from traditional hard-disk drives (HDDs).
