In this paper we describe BlueSSD, an open platform for exploring hardware and software for NAND flash-based SSD architectures. We introduce the overall architecture of BlueSSD from a hardware and software perspective and briefly explain our design methodology. Preliminary evaluation shows that BlueSSD delivers performance comparable to commercially available SSDs.
