Abstract

See full text

This application describes systems and methods for facilitating memory access in flash drives. An example method performed by a memory controller may include receiving, from a host, a write command comprising data to be written into a flash memory; splitting the data into a first portion and a second portion; storing the first portion into a static random-access memory (SRAM) in the memory controller; storing the second portion into a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) communicatively coupled with the memory controller; initiating a configuration operation corresponding to the write command; fetching the first portion from the SRAM and the second portion from the DRAM in response to the flash translation layer indicating a ready status to store the data into the flash memory; combining the fetched first portion and the fetched second portion; and storing the combined first portion and the second portion into the flash memory.
