STORAGE DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17983455 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND OPERATING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a storage device that has three memory regions with different data storage capacities. The device also includes a storage controller that receives requests, data, and storage time information from a host. Based on this information, the storage controller programs the data in one of the memory regions.
- The storage device has a non-volatile memory with three memory regions of increasing data storage capacities.
- A storage controller is included to handle requests, data, and storage time information from a host.
- The storage controller determines the appropriate memory region to program the data based on the request and storage time information.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in various storage devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs) or memory cards.
- It can be applied in consumer electronics, data centers, or cloud storage systems.
Problems Solved
- Efficient utilization of different memory regions with varying data storage capacities.
- Optimal programming of data based on storage time information to enhance performance and longevity of the storage device.
Benefits
- Improved storage efficiency by utilizing memory regions with different capacities.
- Enhanced performance and longevity of the storage device by intelligently programming data based on storage time information.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device may include; a non-volatile memory including a first memory region including first memory cells having a first data storage capacity, a second memory region including second memory cells having a second data storage capacity greater than the first data storage capacity, and a third memory region including third memory cells having a third data storage capacity greater than the second data storage capacity, and a storage controller configured to receive a request, data, and storage time information associated with the data from a host, and program the data in a selected one of the first memory region, the second memory region and the third memory region in response to the request and on the basis of the storage time information.
