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 increasing performance of a recycle operation in a solid state drive, comprising the steps of (A) creating an empty physical-to-logical address map in a memory having a plurality of entry locations, (B) filling one of the plurality of entry locations with a physical page address associated with each data write operation to a block, where the block has a plurality of pages, (C) writing the physical-to-logical address map to a last of the plurality of pages during a write to a second to last page of the block and (D) initiating a recycle operation of the block by reading the address map to determine whether the pages contain valid data.

Abstract translation: 一种用于增加固态驱动器中的再循环操作的性能的方法，包括以下步骤：（A）在具有多个入口位置的存储器中创建空的物理到逻辑地址映射，（B）填充多个 具有与块的每个数据写入操作相关联的物理页面地址的入口位置，其中块具有多个页面;（C）在写入期间将物理到逻辑地址映射写入多页中的最后一个页面 到该块的第二到最后一页，并且（D）通过读取地址映射来发起块的再循环操作，以确定页是否包含有效数据。
