Abstract
A method for augmenting a computing device is disclosed comprising providing a data storage arrangement, the data storage arrangement having a memory having a partition of a first section and a sub dividable second section, monitoring the computing device to determine when the first section of memory requires augmentation, subdividing the second section of the memory into a transferable section memory and a remainder section memory and augmenting the first section of the memory with the transferable section.
Claims21
A method for augmenting a computing device, comprising:
- monitoring the computing device, the computer device including a data storage arrangement, the data storage arrangement having a memory having a partition of a first section and a sub dividable second section, wherein the monitoring is to determine when the first section of memory requires augmentation;
- subdividing the second section of the memory into a transferable section memory and a remainder section memory;
- and
- augmenting the first section of the memory with the transferable section.
An arrangement, comprising:
- means for monitoring a computing device to determine when a first section of memory requires augmentation;
- means for subdividing a second section of a data storage arrangement memory into a transferable section memory and a remainder section memory;
- and
- means for augmenting the first section of the memory with the transferable section memory.
An arrangement, comprising:
- a flash memory comprising a first section composed of single level cell arrangements and a second section composed to triple level cell arrangements;
- and
- a controller configured to monitor storage activities in the first section of the flash memory and further configured to subdivide the second section of the flash memory to create a transferable memory section and a remainder memory section from the second section of the flash memory, the controller further configured to use the transferable memory section as an extension of the first section.
