    摘要: The embodiments described herein provide a method and controller for performing a sequence of commands. In one embodiment, a controller receives a command from a host to perform a memory operation in a flash memory device, wherein the command comprises at least one bit that indicates whether the command is a stand-alone command or is part of a sequence of commands. The controller analyzes the at least one bit to determine whether the at least one bit indicates that the command is a stand-alone command or is part of a sequence of commands. If the at least one bit indicates that the command is a stand-alone command, the controller performs the command. If the at least one bit indicates that the command is part of a sequence of commands, the controller performs the command as part of the sequence of commands.

    摘要: The embodiments described herein provide a method and controller for performing a copy-back command. In one embodiment, a controller receives the data and error correction code associated with a copy-back operation from at least one flash memory device. The controller determines if the error correction code indicates there is an error in the data. If the error correction code does not indicate there is an error in the data, the controller sends a destination address and copy-back program command received from a host to the at least one flash memory device. If the error correction code indicates there is an error in the data, the controller corrects the data and sends the destination address, the corrected data, and a program command to the at least one flash memory device. Additional embodiments relate to modifying data during the copy-back operation.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus of the present invention include new data and parity mapping for a two-level or hierarchical secondary RAID architecture. The hierarchical secondary RAID architecture achieves a reduced mean time to data loss compared with a single-level RAID architecture. The new data and parity mapping technique provides load-balancing between the disks in the hierarchical secondary RAID architecture and facilitates sequential access.
