20090087168 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPRODUCING MEDIA CONTENTS USING NON-VOLATILE STORAGE MEDIUM - 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. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089501 | METHOD OF PREFETCHING DATA IN HARD DISK DRIVE, RECORDING MEDIUM INCLUDING PROGRAM TO EXECUTE THE METHOD, AND APPARATUS TO PERFORM THE METHOD - A method of prefetching data in a hard disk drive includes searching for a logic block address (LBA) of data requested by an external apparatus in a history of a non-volatile cache of the hard disk drive, and if the LBA of the data is stored in the history, storing data recorded in a LBA stored after the LBA of the data requested by the external apparatus from among LBAs stored in the history in a buffer of the hard disk drive. | 04-02-2009 |
