Abstract
This disclosure describes a telemetry and identity architecture for storage devices designed to facilitate hardware modularity, component-level flexibility, and streamlined data recovery. By decoupling a logic controller from the storage media and utilizing a dedicated non-volatile chip on the media module, the system enables seamless pairing and replacement of hardware components without the risk of data corruption. This dedicated chip functions as a hardware abstraction layer, storing specific metadata that allows a logic module to adopt and operate the media by understanding its unique physical characteristics. The architecture ensures data integrity and accessibility through a secure communication protocol and persistent calibration data, allowing functional media to be accessed even after a logic board failure.
Keywords: storage modularity, telemetry chip, hardware abstraction, metadata handover, adaptive firmware, media adoption, decoupled architecture, data recovery, calibration persistence.
