Filed:

Dec 19, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/339346

Inventors:

John Edward Moon - Superior CO, US
Karl L. Enarson - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711162

Abstract:

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.

Appl. No.:

12/480935

Inventors:

John Edward Moon - Superior CO, US
Todd Ray Strope - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology, LLC - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

711103, 711165, 711E12009

Abstract:

A data storage device includes a solid state data storage medium, a set of related data blocks and a controller. The set of related data blocks are non-contiguously stored on the data storage medium and have an original write sequence. The controller, responsive to a defragmentation request, maps the physical block addresses of the set of related data blocks to contiguous logical block addresses in the original write sequence while maintaining the non-contiguous physical block addresses of the set of related data blocks on the data storage medium.

Appl. No.:

12/422607

Inventors:

Karl Louis Enarson - Longmont CO, US
John Edward Moon - Superior CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 42, 714 45, 714 46

Abstract:

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.

Appl. No.:

12/337133

Inventors:

Stanton MacDonough Keeler - Longmont CO, US
John Edward Moon - Superior CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G11C 29/00

US Classification:

714763

Abstract:

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.

Filed:

Jul 23, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/178215

Inventors:

John Edward Moon - Superior CO, US
Paul Francis Kusbel - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/24
G06F 12/00

US Classification:

713 2, 711115, 711E12001

Abstract:

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.

US Classification:

711113, 711112, 711154, 711E12001, 711E12019

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

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.
