Abstract:
1. A method for a memory subsystem having at least one first mass memory with a solid-state memory medium, at least one second mass memory with a moving read/write head or moving memory medium, and at least one control unit for controlling the first mass memory and the second mass memory, the method comprising: receiving a request for storing or reading data, wherein the request has at least one set of address information; defining a first memory region on the first mass memory based on the address information; defining a second memory region on the second mass memory based on the address information; transmitting a first subrequest with respect to the first memory region to the first mass memory; and simultaneously transmitting a second subrequest with respect to the second memory region to the second mass memory, wherein a size of the first memory region is defined essentially by an expected delay when executing the second subrequest.
