STORAGE DEVICE FOR CLASSIFYING DATA BASED ON STREAM CLASS NUMBER, STORAGE SYSTEM, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240330175 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE FOR CLASSIFYING DATA BASED ON STREAM CLASS NUMBER, STORAGE SYSTEM, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
The patent application describes a storage device that utilizes a buffer to receive and store data, a non-volatile memory to store the data, and a controller to manage the data storage process efficiently.
- The storage device includes a buffer to receive and store first and second data on a first page.
- A non-volatile memory is used to store the first and second data in a first block.
- The controller performs a program operation that programs the data in free blocks through garbage collection.
- The first data may include a first stream class number, while the second data may include a second stream class number, different from the first.
- The controller may transmit information of the program operation to the outside before executing it.
- The controller performs the program operation upon receiving a program execution permission command from the outside.
Potential Applications: - Data storage devices - Memory management systems - Garbage collection algorithms
Problems Solved: - Efficient data storage and management - Optimal memory usage - Streamlining program operations
Benefits: - Improved data organization - Enhanced memory performance - Streamlined data storage processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Data Storage Device for Enhanced Memory Management This technology can be applied in various industries such as data centers, cloud computing, IoT devices, and consumer electronics for efficient data storage and management.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller manage the program operation efficiently? The controller utilizes garbage collection to program data in free blocks, ensuring optimal memory usage. 2. What are the key differences between the first and second stream class numbers in the data storage process? The first stream class number identifies characteristics of the first data, while the second stream class number identifies characteristics of the second data, ensuring proper organization and management of different data streams.
Original Abstract Submitted
a storage device includes: a buffer to receive first data and second data from outside, and store the first data and the second data on a first page; a non-volatile memory to store the first data and the second data in a first block; and a controller to perform a program operation that programs the first and second data in free blocks different from each other through a garbage collection. the first data may include a first stream class number identifying characteristics of the first data, and the second data may include a second stream class number identifying characteristics of the second data and is different from the first stream class number. the controller may transmit information of the program operation to the outside before performing the program operation. the controller may perform the program operation when receiving a program execution permission command from the outside.
