摘要： A storage device with a memory, a controller, a storage device interface and a host interface, and a method of data transfer to and from a storage device are provided. The storage device is operative to connect with a host device and the storage device interface is operative to couple with an add-on memory. When the host interface is connected to a host device, the controller is configured to receive a data transfer command specifying a memory address from the host interface; and if the memory address is beyond the address space of the memory, to route the data transfer command to the storage device interface for access to the add-on memory. The address space of the memory and an address space of the add-on memory are addressed as one integral address space transparently to the host.

摘要： A method and system are disclosed that permit a storage device to remain fully functional despite running out of a sufficient supply of spare blocks in memory. The storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller, where the controller is configured to detect an insufficiency of spare blocks and convert operative blocks to spare blocks. The method includes techniques for selecting certain operative blocks for conversion to spare blocks using the storage manager on the storage device and a file system manager that may or may not be part of the storage device.

摘要： Systems and methods of memory management storage to a host device are disclosed. A method is performed in a data storage device with a non-volatile memory and a controller operative to manage the non-volatile memory and to generate management data for managing the non-volatile memory. The method includes performing, at a given time, originating at the controller data management transfer to a host device or originating at the controller data management retrieval from the host device.

摘要： A system and method for data tag sharing is disclosed. A host system may provide a storage system with information that identifies a set of logical addresses as pointing to data that is cold, which may mean that the data has not been written to within a threshold time period, such as a year. The storage system may process the data stored at physical locations corresponding to the set of logical addresses as cold data based on receipt of the information from the host system.

摘要： A method and system for enhancing efficiency in power failure handling in flash memory devices is disclosed. The method includes the controller of a storage device receiving a page of data, selecting a block having a desired back-up cost and copying previously stored data in the selected block to a back-up block prior to writing the received page to the selected block based on a category of the previously stored data. The system includes non-volatile memory having a plurality of operative blocks, at least one spare block and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a page of data, select an operative block in the memory having a desired back-up cost, and copy previously stored data in the selected block to a spare block based on a category of the previously stored data prior to writing the received page to the selected block.
