Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing data in a hybrid data storage device. In some embodiments, a hybrid data storage device operates in a normal mode in which data transfer commands received from a host device are serviced by a top level controller circuit which directs a first subset of the received data transfer commands to a non-volatile rotatable recording memory and a second subset of the received data transfer commands are directed to a non-volatile solid-state memory. The controller circuit transitions to a performance mode responsive to a detected first parameter so that subsequently received data transfer commands are directed exclusively to the solid-state memory. The controller circuit terminates the performance mode and resumes the normal mode responsive to a detected second parameter.

At least one supporting rib protrudes from at least one surface of the reaming unit for increasing the strength of the reaming unit, allowing the reaming unit to bear the larger drilling stress during a screwing operation and provide the greater cutting action, and preventing the reaming unit from wearing or breaking. The combination of the supporting rib and the reaming unit allows the reaming unit to provide a suitable thickness which facilitates a preferable cutting speed without affecting the drilling capability of the screw.
