1. A solid state memory device, comprising:
a link interface configurable in a first configuration and a second configuration, the first configuration to be for bidirectional communication with a controller via the link interface, the second configuration to be for unidirectional communication with the controller via the link interface, wherein the link interface includes:
receiver circuitry to receive command information, command error detection information associated with the command information, and remedial action instructions from the controller; and
circuitry to communicate a group of data bits with the controller based on the command information, the group of data bits to be time multiplexed with error-detection information; and,
circuitry to, based on the remedial action instructions, perform a remedial action.
