Abstract: A data storage device flushes newly written data in response to certain events such that, when the device has acknowledged newly written data, the device cannot return old data of the referenced logical block address to the host in any case. If the data of the logical block address has been corrupted, the device returns an uncorrectable error, not old data. A “force map entry flush” flushes modified map entries to NAND when an upper page is programmed. After a power failure and restoration, a storage device is able to analysis map entries to determine whether there is some host data in the uncorrectable die, then prevent return of old data to a host.

Abstract translation: 数据存储装置响应于某些事件刷新新写入的数据，使得当设备已经确认新写入的数据时，在任何情况下，设备不能将所引用的逻辑块地址的旧数据返回给主机。 如果逻辑块地址的数据已损坏，则设备将返回不可修正的错误，而不是旧数据。 当编程上一页时，“强制映射条目刷新”将修改的映射条目刷新到NAND。 在电源故障恢复之后，存储设备能够分析地图条目以确定是否存在不可校正裸片中的一些主机数据，然后防止将旧数据返回到主机。

Abstract: A method for booting to an operating system stored on a solid state drive. The method comprises the steps of (A) determining if a boot list has one or more entries, (B) pre-reading one or more logical block addresses of each of the entries from the boot list, (C) receiving a command from a host, (D) reading the command from a memory internal to the solid state drive if the command is in a cache area of the pre-read logical block addresses and (E) reading the command from a main portion of the solid state drive if the command is not in the cache.

Abstract: A method for protecting a master boot record in a solid state drive, comprising the steps of (A) receiving a plurality of input/output requests from a host device, (B) determining whether one or more of the input/output requests is read/written to a first of a plurality of logical block addresses of the solid state drive and (C) writing an entry to a table for each of the input/output requests read/written to the first of the logical block addresses. The table (i) is separate from the first of the logical block addresses and (ii) is used to recover errors in the first of the logical block addresses.
