In the current generation of CSD (computational storage drive), we have implemented compression in hardware (vastly more power & performance efficient than using CPUs). To get all the benefits of compression in the SSD, we have to develop a novel flash management process to manage the variable lengths of data that result from compression (vs the fixed length blocks that are typically managed by SSD controllers).
