Abstract
The herein disclosed technology provides techniques for uneven striping of data objects, such as metadata, in a storage device to decrease save times for copying such objects from volatile to non-volatile memory. According to one implementation, a data object is split into multiple differently-sized data segments of variable size based on rates of data transfer to multiple disparate non-volatile receiving devices. Responsive to initiation of a power down sequence, each of the multiple data segments of the data object are simultaneously copied from volatile memory to non-volatile memory.
