Abstract
A temperature sensitive memory, such as a ferroelectric polymer memory, may be utilized as a disk cache memory in one embodiment. If the temperature begins to threaten shutdown, the memory may be transitioned from a write-back to a write-through cache memory. In such case, the system is ready for shutdown without the loss of critical data.
