VARIABLE DENSITY STORAGE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160386 titled 'VARIABLE DENSITY STORAGE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for a variable density storage device. A memory system receives a write command to write data, writes the data to a first set of memory cells using a first write operation, and may transfer the data to a second set of memory cells based on certain parameters associated with the data.

  • Memory system receives a write command to write data
  • Data is written to a first set of memory cells using a first write operation
  • First set of memory cells store three or fewer bits of information in a single memory cell
  • Memory system identifies whether to transfer the data to a second set of memory cells based on certain parameters associated with the data
  • Second set of memory cells store more bits of information in a single memory cell than the first set
  • Data is transferred to the second set of memory cells if identified for transfer

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Data storage systems
  • Computer memory devices
  • Mobile devices

Problems Solved

  • Efficient use of memory space
  • Enhanced data storage capabilities
  • Improved data transfer processes

Benefits

  • Increased storage capacity
  • Optimal data organization
  • Enhanced memory system performance

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized Memory Storage Technology for Improved Data Management

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of multi-level cell (MLC) technology in memory storage devices.

Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and devices for variable density storage device are described. a memory system may receive a write command to write data to the memory system. the memory system may write the data to a first set of memory cells of the memory system using a first write operation based on receiving the write command. the first set of memory cells store three or fewer bits of information in a single memory cell. the memory system may identify whether to transfer the data to a second set of memory cells on one or more parameters associated with the data. the second set of memory cells may store more bits of information in a single memory cell than the first set of memory cells. the memory system may transfer the data to the second set of memory cells based on identifying that the data is to be transferred.
