CONTROLLER, DATA STORAGE DEVICE, AND DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING VARIABLE COMMUNICATION SPEED

摘要

A main controller for use within a data storage device including a first data storage device and a second data storage device is disclosed. The controller includes a memory configured to store a plurality of protocol program data, and a processor configured to receive a host control signal from a host defining a primary operation, and to execute protocol program data selected from the plurality of protocol program data to define a first data communication protocol in accordance with the received host control signal. The processor is further configured to electrically store data in the first data storage device or magnetically store the data in the second data storage device during a secondary operation associated with the first operation, wherein the data is communicated from the processor to the first data storage device or the second data storage device during the secondary operation using a second.
