PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid drive and associated methods which increase the rate at which data is transferred to a nonvolatile storage medium in the hybrid drive.SOLUTION: By using a large nonvolatile solid state memory device as cache memory for a magnetic disk drive, a very large number of write commands can be cached, and subsequently reordered and executed in an efficient manner. In addition, strategic selection and reordering of only a portion of the write commands stored in the nonvolatile solid state memory device increases efficiency of the reordering process. |
