Abstract
Nonvolatile storage includes first and second memory types with different read latencies. FLASH memory and phase change memory are examples. A first portion of a data block is stored in the phase change memory and a second portion of the data block is stored in the FLASH memory. The first portion of the data block is accessed prior to the second portion of the data block during a read operation.
