Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A data storage device is configured to perform data de-duplication. A method of operating the data storage device includes receiving a first command and write data output from a host and storing the write data in a volatile memory in response to the first command, and writing the write data stored in the volatile memory in a non-volatile memory in response to a second command output from the host.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a data storage device which is configured to perform data de-duplication, the method comprising: receiving a first command and write data from a host; storing the write data in a volatile memory in response to the first command; and in response to receiving a second command output from the host, deleting the write data stored in the volatile memory or writing the write data stored in the volatile memory into a non-volatile memory,…
