Abstract: Flash drives are becoming increasingly more common. In order to be able to effectively make use of these devices, it is necessary to be able to design systems that are optimized for ideal flash drive performance. To that end, we have developed a flash drive emulator. This emulator can allow software (such as file systems or any other system that would need to interact directly with the disk) to be tested for flash drive performance. The ability to use an emulator for this purpose should be able to make this testing more cost-effective, as there would no longer be as much of a need to buy expensive hardware that is prone to wearing out after a finite number of writes.
