Abstract
A device, a method and a system for reading/writing data, preferably of a particular type, from a first dedicated port of a NVM storage, while other data is reading/written to at least a second general port of the NVM storage. Preferably, while data is being continually read/written through the dedicated port of the NVM storage, the logic processor which controls the NVM storage optionally “sleeps”, or reverts to a lower power consumption mode. The NVM storage of the present invention may optionally feature a plurality of ports, as long as at least one dedicated port for reading/writing data, preferably of a particular type, and at least one general port for reading/writing data, is provided. According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, the at least one dedicated ports is a port for reading/writing streamed data, such as streaming audio and/or video data for example.
