  • Patent number: 9395934
    Abstract: A hybrid data storage device includes a solid-state memory device, a disc-type memory device and a hybrid data storage device controller in communication with the solid-state memory device and the disc-type memory device. The hybrid data storage device controller is configured to receive Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface (NVMHCI) commands from a host and use logic to make decisions for the optimization and efficient performance of the solid-state memory device and the disc-type memory device.

  • Publication number: 20100146205
    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a device is disclosed that includes a controller adapted to store data to a first storage medium. The controller is adapted to receive data storage commands in an order received and to store the received data storage commands at a second storage medium. Further, the controller is adapted to re-order the data storage commands from the order received to an execution order, monitor access activity related to the first storage medium, and store the data from the second storage medium to the first storage medium according to the execution order when the monitored access activity falls below an activity threshold.

  • Publication number: 20100023740
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to systems and methods of a diagnostic utility for a data storage device. Further, the present disclosure is also related to monitoring host activity and storing information related to the host activity in a nonvolatile cache of a data storage device. In a particular embodiment, a method includes monitoring a host computer for an occurrence of data storage device related activity and storing information based on the data storage device related activity in a nonvolatile memory of a removable data storage device.
