SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING A STORAGE DEVICE AS PERSISTENT MEMORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17988748 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING A STORAGE DEVICE AS PERSISTENT MEMORY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a storage device with volatile and non-volatile storage, a backup power source, a connector to a processor, and a controller that uses the volatile storage as a cache for the non-volatile storage.

  • The storage device includes volatile and non-volatile storage.
  • A backup power source provides backup power to the volatile storage.
  • A connector connects the storage device to a processor.
  • The controller uses the volatile storage as a cache for the non-volatile storage.
  • The controller copies data from volatile storage to non-volatile storage based on receiving a signal.

Potential Applications

  • Data storage and backup systems
  • Computer systems and servers
  • Industrial automation and control systems

Problems Solved

  • Data loss due to power outages
  • Improved data access and retrieval speed
  • Enhanced system reliability and performance

Benefits

  • Increased data security and reliability
  • Faster data access and processing
  • Improved system performance and efficiency


Original Abstract Submitted

A storage device is disclosed. The storage device may include a volatile storage, a non-volatile storage, and a backup power source configured to provide backup power to the volatile storage. A connector may connect the storage device to a processor. A controller may use the volatile storage as a cache for the non-volatile storage. The controller may copy a data from the volatile storage to the non-volatile storage based at least in part on receiving a signal.
