Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100082890 | Method of managing a solid state drive, associated systems and implementations - A solid state drive may include one or more memory cell arrays divided into a plurality of blocks. A first portion of the blocks may be designated for storing user data and a second portion of the blocks may be designated as reserved blocks for replacing defective blocks in the first portion. In one embodiment, the method includes reformatting, by a memory controller, the solid state drive to convert one or more blocks in the first portion into reserved blocks. | 04-01-2010 |
20100103735 | MEMORY DEVICE AND PROGRAM METHOD THEREOF - Provided are a flash memory system and a driving method thereof. A flash memory device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells, and a control logic. The control logic performs control for one-bit information to be stored in the plurality of memory cells. The control logic controls storing data in the plurality of memory cells multiple times without an erasion operation. Accordingly, the flash memory device does not execute an erasion operation, increasing an operation speed. | 04-29-2010 |
20110238900 | Method of managing a solid state drive, associated systems and implementations - In one embodiment, the method includes storing, by a status checking module, status information for a solid state drive, and determining a status state of the solid state drive based on the status information. The status state is one of a good state, an intermediate state and a bad state, and the intermediate state is a state between the good state and the bad state. | 09-29-2011 |
20110238971 | Method of managing a solid state drive, associated systems and implementations - One embodiment of a method includes loading, by a memory controller, a boot image from a solid state drive to an operating memory of a computing system during an initialization operation of the computing system. The initialization operation initializes components of the computing system. | 09-29-2011 |
20110252184 | METHOD OF STORING DATA IN STORAGE MEDIA, DATA STORAGE DEVICE USING THE SAME, AND SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A method of storing data in a storage media is provided which includes sequentially compressing data by a compression unit, and storing the compressed data in the storage media, the compression unit being varied according to a compression characteristic of data to be stored in the storage media. | 10-13-2011 |
20120210076 | USER DEVICE PERFORMING DATA RETENTION OPERATION, STORAGE DEVICE AND DATA RETENTION METHOD - Disclosed is a method of operating a data storage device. The method includes; causing the data storage device to transition from an off-line state to an on-line state, receiving a current global time as communicated from a host during the on-line state, and during the on-line state, refreshing data stored in the data storage device in response to the current global time using at least one normal data retention operation. | 08-16-2012 |
20130111112 | METHOD FOR ADJUSTING PERFORMANCE OF A STORAGE DEVICE AND A SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE THEREFOR | 05-02-2013 |
20130179647 | STORAGE DEVICE AND DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed is a data managing method of a storage device which includes at least one nonvolatile memory device and a controller controlling the nonvolatile memory device. The data managing method includes receiving an input/output request and generating a section directing logical addresses based on the input/output request. The section is managed using section information, and the section information includes a start logical address corresponding to the input/output request, spatial locality information having the number of the directed logical addresses, and historical request information. | 07-11-2013 |
20150026449 | METHOD OF MANAGING A SOLID STATE DRIVE, ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND IMPLEMENTATIONS - One embodiment of a method includes loading, by a memory controller, a boot image from a solid state drive to an operating memory of a computing system during an initialization operation of the computing system. The initialization operation initializes components of the computing system. | 01-22-2015 |
