Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to host memory buffer (HMB) cache management in DRAM-less SSDs. HMB is transient memory and may not always be available. For example, when the link between the data storage device and the host device is not active, the data storage device can't access the HMB. Placing an HMB log in the HMB controller that is disposed in the data storage device provides access to data that would otherwise be inaccessible in the HMB. The HMB log contains any deltas that have occurred since either the last copying to an HMB cache in the memory device or any delta that have occurred since the link became inactive. The HMB cache mirrors the HMB. In so doing, the data of the HMB is available to the data storage device not only when the link is active, but also when the link is not active.
