1. A software Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID)/management trusted storage-device-based communication system, comprising:
a chassis;
a software Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) subsystem that is housed in the chassis;
a storage device that is housed in the chassis, that is coupled to the software RAID subsystem, and that includes a storage device memory subsystem; and
a management subsystem that is housed in the chassis and that is coupled to the storage device, wherein the management subsystem is configured to:
authenticate the storage device to establish management subsystem/storage device trust between the management subsystem and the storage device;
use, in response to establishing the management subsystem/storage device trust, the storage device to establish management subsystem/software RAID subsystem trust between the management subsystem and the software RAID subsystem; and
transmit, in response to establishing the management subsystem/storage device trust and the management subsystem/software RAID subsystem trust, communications with the software RAID subsystem via the storage device memory subsystem in the storage device.
