Abstract: An operating method of a memory controller that controls a nonvolatile memory device is provided. A command is received from an external device. Whether the nonvolatile memory device is in a temperature control mode is determined. When the nonvolatile memory device is in the temperature control mode, the received command is delayed for a predetermined time until the received command is outputted to the nonvolatile memory device. When the nonvolatile memory device is in the temperature control mode, the nonvolatile memory device is in an idle state.

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory system comprises a temporary power supply that supplies power in the event of an unexpected power interruption. The temporary power supply provides power while metadata stored in one or more buffers is compressed and transferred to a nonvolatile memory device.

Abstract: The method of operating the data storage device includes performing channel distribution non-sequentially based on a logical address included in a data signal and outputting a channel address, and at least one of writing data to and reading stored data from a memory connected to one of a plurality of channels based on the channel address.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a flash memory including a plurality of data blocks and a flash translation layer that divides the plurality of data blocks into a data block of a first group and a data block of a second group, and that records the data signal to a data block of the first group or a data block of the second group which is extended from a data block of the first group.

Abstract: A method of controlling operation timing of memory devices included in a storage apparatus and a memory system including the method. The method includes adjusting operation timing such that a number of memory devices that simultaneously perform operations is below a reference value according to a host request, and issuing operations according to the adjusted operation timing and transferring the issued operations to the memory devices.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a method for reproducing digital media content, and more particularly but without limitation, to a method and apparatus for reading a boot code and digital media content from a non-volatile storage medium other than a conventional hard disk drive. In embodiments of the invention, power is limitedly supplied to an apparatus required for reproducing digital media content. Additionally, in embodiments of the invention, the digital media content is reproduced using a non-volatile storage medium other than a conventional hard disk drive (HDD); in particular, embodiments of the invention utilize a solid state drive (SSD) such as a non-volatile cache memory inside a hybrid hard drive (HDD) or an on-board cache memory. Embodiments of the invention also provide an apparatus for performing the method.

Abstract: Provided is a file service system in a personal area network (PAN), which can improve accessibility of data by defining a semantic file addressing scheme and its construction mechanism on the network, as well as extensibility of data management, such as an automatic backup and replication, by including two separated layers, i.e. a data access layer and a data replication layer. Accordingly, the file service system in PAN includes a data access layer, which is constructed by using UPnP to automatically build up a semantic file address space over all personal devices in the network and using by WebDAV for file I/Os, and a data replication layer, which is based on an object-based storage device (OSD) protocol and is in charge of an automated data backup and replication, wherein the data access layer and the data replication layer are separated.
