Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are a method and an apparatus for shortening a data comparison test time by using peer-to-peer transfers between peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) endpoints when testing solid state drive (SSD) devices. A memory device test apparatus performing a data comparison test of a memory device mounted in a downstream port of a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) switch by performing a writing process and a reading-back process by a control of a host central processing unit (CPU) includes: a comparison test unit (FPGA) connected to the downstream port of the PCIe switch, performing peer-to-peer communication with the memory device to supply write data to the memory device and receive read-back data from the memory device, and performing the data comparison test.
