Abstract
The increasing power and decreasing cost of microprocessors has made it possible to incorporate a high degree of intelligence into peripheral storage devices, so that it is now feasible to move much of the functionality traditionally associated with a file system from the host computer into the peripheral, at once increasing system performance and improving modularity. The arguments for and against intelligent storage devices are examined, and a design is presented which allows the work of page allocation and data layout to be moved from the host computer to the peripheral.
