  • Publication number: 20150220273
    Abstract: To reduce deterioration of non-volatile memory and write data at higher speed, writing data is stored in a ReRAM when a page utilization rate R is lower than a threshold Rth1 and/or the writing data is frequently-rewritten data. With an empty space Semp2 in the ReRAM being less than a threshold Sth (step S110), when the data in the ReRAM is infrequently-rewritten data and the page utilization rate R obtained if target data is stored in a flash memory 22 is equal to or higher than a threshold value Rth3 (steps S120 and S130), data of logical sectors contained in N logical page addresses stored in a transfer list is read from the ReRAM to be written to the flash memory (steps S140 to S160). These steps reduce deterioration of the flash memory and allow higher data writing.

  • Publication number: 20150006796
    Abstract: When a data utilization ratio R which is a utilization ratio of sectors in one page is not lower than a threshold value Rth1 and when write data is not frequently-rewritten data, a flash memory is controlled such that the write data is stored into the flash memory. When the data utilization ratio R which is the utilization ratio of sectors in one page is lower than the threshold value Rth1 or when the write data is frequently-rewritten data although the data utilization ratio R is not lower than the threshold value Rth1, a ReRAM is controlled such that the write data is stored into the ReRAM. This suppresses deterioration of the flash memory.

  • Patent number: 8635511
    Abstract: When write data D is high rewritten data, a PC 10 controls a DRAM 24 to store the write data D (steps S100 and S110). When the write data D is not the high rewritten data, the PC 10 outputs an RRAM write request signal and the write data D to an SSD (step S100 and S120). A memory controller of the SSD input the RRAM write request signal controls the RRAM and an SRAM to store the write data D in the RRAM or the SRAM. This treatment enables data stored in the DRAM to be rewritten frequently. Therefore, the decrease of number of times of refresh operation of the DRAM and the decrease of power consumption are accomplished.
