An example adapter assembly may comprise an adapter cage to removably mount to a riser board of a computer system. Further, the example adapter assembly may comprise an adapter board disposed on the adapter cage, wherein the adapter cage is to receive multiple computer components, and the adapter board is to engage with the multiple computer components.

Adapter assemblies

A method and apparatus for improving the performance of a computer system having a solid-state (flash) memory device as the main system memory. After weeks or months of frequent use, solid-state memories can become badly fragmented, and although every memory cell has basically the same access time to retrieve or to write data from or into that cell, vendors have found that self-defragging utilities within the memory device often improves overall performance. Yet if such defragging utilities are automatically run when other applications are running simultaneously, the drain on system performance can be very detrimental. To avoid the occurrence of unwanted self-defragging of these solid-state memory devices, we inhibit under some circumstances such functionality until it is deemed safe to do so.
