It would be interesting if SSD firmware were all open-sourced.
Manufacturers could then eventually converge all of their development and QA efforts on a few different codebases designed for different tradeoffs rather than everybody rolling their own thing and learning everybody else's lessons the hard way.
But I guess as long as custom firmware remains a major competitive advantage, this would never happen.
