It proposes a new classification system to help readers navigate the SSD landscape. For years, the evolution of SSDs was obscured by the unchanging abstractions of block devices and POSIX I/O, but it is apparent that these abstractions have become a problematic hinderance to performance and also fail to reduce software complexity. The book explores how such a state of affairs impacts the database community in at least two ways. First, it considers how using SSDs through legacy interfaces that hide internal mechanisms i.
