HYBRID STORAGE DEVICE WITH DATA MIGRATION FOR AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17813690 titled 'HYBRID STORAGE DEVICE WITH DATA MIGRATION FOR AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a method for improving data availability and reducing access times in non-volatile solid-state storage devices while maintaining high memory density. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving data with tags to be stored in two different portions of the storage device, one configured as a first type and the other as a second type.
  • The controller of the storage device also receives a storage command that includes an indicator.
  • Some data associated with a tag identified by the indicator is stored in the first portion.
  • Upon receiving the storage command, the controller writes the data associated with the identified tag from the first portion to the second portion.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in various storage devices, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and memory cards, to improve data availability and access times.
  • It can be used in data centers and cloud computing environments to enhance the performance and efficiency of storage systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method addresses the issue of long access times in non-volatile solid-state storage devices, which can hinder data retrieval and processing.
  • By efficiently storing and retrieving data based on tags, the method reduces the time required to access specific data, improving overall system performance.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method improves data availability by decreasing access times, allowing for faster retrieval and processing of data.
  • It maintains high memory density, ensuring efficient utilization of storage space.
  • By optimizing data storage and retrieval, the technology enhances the performance and efficiency of storage devices, leading to improved user experience and productivity.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of this disclosure improve data availability by decreasing access times to obtain data from the storage device while still providing high memory density. A method may include receiving, by a controller of a non-volatile solid-state storage device, data with tags to be stored in a first portion configured as a first type and a second portion configured as a second type; receiving, by the controller, a storage command comprising an indicator, wherein at least some data associated with a tag identified by the indicator is stored in the first portion; and writing, by the controller based on receiving the storage command, the at least some data associated with the tag identified by the indicator from the first portion to the second portion. Other aspects are also disclosed.
