Storage system
Acer, Inc., New Taipei, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (10,789,016) developed by Hou, Guan-Yu, and Fu, Tz-Yu, New Taipei, Taiwan, for “storage system and storing method.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A storing method is provided. The storing method includes: receiving a driving instruction by a host, wherein the driving instruction triggers a driver to collect a user information, and the driver generates a hit rate information according to the user information and generates a mapping table according to the hit rate information, receiving the mapping table from the driver by a processing unit of a storage device, wherein the storage device does not have any dynamic random access memory (DRAM) storing the mapping table in a static random access memory (SRAM) storing a plurality of storing data in a number of NAND flash memories, wherein when the host receives an accessing instruction, the processing unit reads the mapping table in the SRAM to find the storing data corresponding to the accessing instruction.”

The patent application was filed on March 6, 2019 (16/294,623).
