A storage unit made of fast and slow storage medium is implemented to shorten computer boot time significantly. The unit is composed of fast storage medium such as random access memory (RAM) and slow storage medium such as FLASH, SRAM, Battery Powered RAM, ROM and CD-ROM etc. A data storage medium controller is implemented to move data between second data storage medium and slow storage medium in a way that is transparent to the system bus so that data moving can happen in parallel to computer initialization. This architecture allows computer to boot from a faster media without having to wait for data to be moved from slower media and hence making computer boot faster.
