First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a write request via a flash translation layer to store information in a NAND or NAND-based memory array;
determining metadata of said information;
writing said information in said NAND or NAND-based memory array; and
writing said metadata in a second memory, said second memory comprising a type of nonvolatile memory other than that of said NAND or NAND-based memory array.

9. A memory device comprising:
-
a NAND or NAND-based memory array to store information associated with a write request received via a flash translation layer; and a second memory comprising a type of nonvolatile memory other than that of said NAND or NAND-based memory array to store metadata of said information, wherein said flash translation layer is adapted to write said information in said NAND or NAND-based memory array and to write said metadata in said second memory in a parallel process. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
a memory device comprising at least one array of NAND memory cells, said memory device further comprising a flash translation layer to; receive a write request to store information in said array of NAND memory cells; determine metadata of said information; write said information in said array of NAND memory cells; and write said metadata in a second memory comprising a type of nonvolatile memory other than that of said array of NAND memory cells; and a processor to host one or more applications and to initiate said write request to said flash translation layer to provide access to said array of NAND memory cells in said memory device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
