US Classification:

711154, 711161, 711162, 713 1, 714 61

Abstract:

In order to provide a more efficient persistent storage device, one or more long-term storage media are included along with a non-volatile memory. In one embodiment, one portion of the non-volatile memory is used as a write buffer and a read cache for writes and reads to the long-term storage media. Interfaces are provided for controlling the use of the non-volatile memory as a write buffer and a read cache. Additionally, a portion of the non-volatile memory is used to provide a direct mapping for specified sectors of the long-term storage media. Descriptive data regarding the persistent storage device is stored in another portion of the non-volatile memory.

International Classification:

G06F003/00

US Classification:

345/835000, 345/764000

Abstract:

The system disclosed herein supports staged-write media such as optical CDs. The system includes an operating system that accepts requests to save resources such as files. When the files are to be saved to a staged-write media, the files are merely noted or referenced as being staged. Later, upon a user indication, the staged files are actually written to the staged-write media. Specifically, the files are written upon detecting a user attempt to remove the staged-write medium.
