Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for caching data according to user-selected caching modes. In an embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a controller configured to pin data from a non-volatile storage medium to a data cache based on at least one user-selectable caching mode. In another embodiment, a device may comprise a processor configured to display a graphical user interface (GUI) at a display, and receive, from the GUI, an indication of a user selection of a data caching mode that determines which data to pin from a non-volatile memory of a data storage device to a data cache of the data storage device. The processor may be configured to then send an indication of the user selection of the data caching mode to the data storage device.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to pin data from a non-volatile storage medium to a data cache based on at least one user-selectable caching mode.
A device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- initiate a display of a graphical user interface (GUI);
- receive, from the GUI, an indication of a user selection of a data caching mode that determines which data to pin from a non-volatile memory of a data storage device to a data cache of the data storage device;
- and
- send an indication of the user selection of the data caching mode to the data storage device.
A data storage memory device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
- pinning data from a non-volatile memory to a data cache based on at least one user-selectable caching mode.
