Abstract

In recent years, multi-level-cell (MLC) NAND flash technologies are prevailingly employed in both enterprise and consumer storage systems due to the advantages on power consumption and fabrication cost. However, short endurance and long write access time of NAND flash pose challenge for system designers. The incurred high bit error prevention cost and unreliable backup power for power failure protection are two acute issues in NAND flash based storage system (NFSS). This paper presents a collection of two contributions: DA-RAID-5 is proposed to reduce cost of data protection from bit error; low cost power failure protection is adopted to improve system robustness in terms of power failure. The experimental results show that, compared to the best prior work, DA-RAID-5 can reduce the NFSS response time by 9.7% on average. The low cost power failure protection scheme can substantially improve the backup power reliability with very marginal performance overheads.
