| 20100023740 | DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY AND METHOD FOR A DATA STORAGE DEVICE - 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. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100146205 | Storage device and method of writing data - 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. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100153821 | Solid-state memory with error correction coding - In a particular embodiment, a storage device is disclosed that includes a solid-state storage media. The storage device further includes a read/write circuit including an error correction coding (ECC) encoder/decoder adapted to write data and associated ECC information to the solid-state storage media without performing a read-verify operation. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100158486 | Storage device and controller to selectively activate a storage media - In a particular embodiment, a system includes a controller adapted to determine a data transfer rate associated with at least one data stream to be written to a storage media and to selectively activate at least one of a first memory and a second memory based on the data transfer rate to record the at least one data stream. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161933 | Storage device with manual learning - In a particular embodiment, a system is disclosed that includes a controller to read data from and write data to a first storage medium. The controller is adapted to monitor logical block addresses (LBAs) of each read operation from the first storage medium and to selectively store files associated with the monitored LBAs that are less than a predetermined length at a second storage medium to enhance performance of applications associated with the LBAs. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100262857 | DATA STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING A FAILURE DIAGNOSTIC LOG - In a particular embodiment, a data storage device is disclosed that can include a data storage medium having a device failure partition including a device failure log to store operational state information. The operational state information can include commands, data, performance data, and environmental data associated with the data storage device. The data storage device can further include a controller adapted to selectively store the operational state information to the device failure log in a first-in first-out (FIFO) order representing recent states of the data storage device. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110202707 | NVMHCI ATTACHED HYBRID DATA STORAGE - 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. | 08-18-2011 |
