US Patent 11714708 Intra-device redundancy scheme

In one implementation, storage system includes embedded storage devices, where each embedded storage device includes a direct-mapped solid state drive (SSD) storage portion and storage system controllers. The storage system controllers may be operatively coupled to the embedded storage devices via a bus. The storage system controllers may receive data to be written to the plurality embedded storage devices, select a plurality of available allocation units from the direct-mapped SSD storage portions of the plurality of embedded storage devices, respectively, and calculate a verification signature corresponding to the data. The storage system controllers may also write the data and the verification signature to a first subset of the plurality of available allocation units, calculate an erasure code corresponding to the data and the verification signature, and write the erasure code to a second subset of allocation units.
