  • Storage device and method for utilizing unused storage space
    Patent number: 9047176
    Abstract: A storage device and method for utilizing unused storage space are provided. In one embodiment, a storage device identifies unused storage space in the memory. The storage device then performs risk analysis on the identified unused storage space. Based on the risk analysis, the storage device uses the identified unused storage space for an internal storage device operation. Other embodiments are disclosed, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.

  • Storage device aware of I/O transaction and stored data
    Patent number: 8996787
    Abstract: A storage device that is aware of I/O transactions and stored data is provided. In one embodiment, a storage device identifies a type of data stored in each logical partition of the storage device. When the storage device receives a request from the host device to access a logical partition of the memory, the storage device handles the request based on the identified type of data stored in the logical partition. Other embodiments are disclosed, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.

  • Storage device and method for selective data compression
    Patent number: 8918579
    Abstract: A storage device and method for selective data compression are provided. In one embodiment, a storage device determines whether data stored in a storage area in the storage device's memory is suitable for compression. If the data is suitable for compression, the storage device compresses the data. The storage device then uses free memory space resulting from compressing the data for an internal storage device operation. Other embodiments are disclosed, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
