Patent ID: 8656130

Claim:
A method for storing data, the method comprising: receiving a low latency store command, the low latency store command including write data; writing the write data to a first memory device in response to receiving the low latency store command, the first memory device implemented by a nonvolatile solid-state memory technology characterized by a first access speed; acknowledging that the write data has been successfully written to memory locations in the first memory device; writing the write data to a second memory device in response to receiving the low latency store command, the second memory device implemented by a volatile memory technology; and writing at least a portion of the write data in the first memory device to a third memory device, responsive to accumulating a predetermined amount of data in the first memory device, the third memory device implemented by a nonvolatile solid-state memory technology characterized by a second access speed, and the first access speed faster than the second access speed.
