U.S. Patent Application 19/710,460 (filed 2026-06-17; Confirmation No. 3169; Patent Center No. 77534311). Title: “Computational-Storage Apparatus with Inline AES-XTS Encryption Tweaked by Physical-Page Address and a Near-Data Compute Engine Sharing a Single Translation-Layer Command Port.” Related to U.S. Application 18/370,908 (AutoPhi IC family).
Status: Patent-pending. This is a design package — not shipping silicon. The PCI-SIG PCIe 8.0 specification is projected for ratification circa 2028.
The Cri-One PCIe 8.0 SSD is an AutoPhi computational-storage chip — an AutoPhi compute core fused with a first-mover PCIe 8.0 NVMe solid-state drive on a single die, computing near the data with every stored byte encrypted at rest by WonderPhi AES (AES-256-XTS, keys never readable). It is governed by the WonderPhi Universal Permanent Driver (version 1.0.0, locked by a constitution of 10 Commandments that shall never be updated) and targets a standard M.2 22110 form factor.
PCIe 8.0 doubles PCIe 7.0 to 256 GT/s per lane using PAM4 signalling, yielding approximately 64 GB/s usable per lane per direction after FLIT overhead. An x4 SSD link sustains approximately 256 GB/s — well beyond anything shipping at any price today. The on-die AutoPhi Compute Engine (ACE) enables programmable in-storage computation (VOXEL, SCAN, XFORM) that keeps terabytes of data inside the drive and returns only small answers to the host, achieving bandwidth amplification of approximately 100–1000×.

Every byte stored on the NAND media is encrypted at rest by the WonderPhi AES core — the embodiment of Commandment VIII (“Thou shalt not steal”). Key properties:

ACE is the programmable near-data compute core that makes this an AutoPhi computational-storage chip rather than a plain SSD. The host invokes ACE through a single NVMe doorbell write using vendor opcode 0xC1; data reaches ACE already decrypted by WonderPhi AES through the shared FTL/AES path; only the reduced result crosses PCIe back to the host.

The simulator round-trips real data through the modeled link, controller, and NAND; verifies integrity by SHA-256; exercises trim; provokes garbage collection; and demonstrates the ACE near-data compute with ~4,274× data-movement offload verified regression-clean.

The package includes a comprehensive corpus of ingested Texas Instruments application notes, datasheets, and reference-design documents covering PCIe redrivers, LDO/buck regulators, SD interfaces, AES implementation, and signal-integrity guidelines. Key references include the TIDA-00423 DS80PCI810 PCIe redriver reference design (board file + schematic carried in the tidrd14/ folder).

This package ships on a single Blu-ray disc, posted to the delivery address on your order. The archive on the disc is AES-256 encrypted; the passphrase is sent separately, by email, once the disc is despatched — so the disc alone is of no use to anyone who intercepts it.

Discs are despatched by tracked, signed-for post. Allow 5 business days for mastering and verification before despatch.
