Abstract
A method may be performed in a data storage device that includes a controller, a non-volatile memory, and a volatile memory. The method includes loading a first portion of stored data from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory according to one or more load priority indicators accessible to the controller. The method further includes, in response to completion of the loading of the first portion of the stored data to the volatile memory and prior to completion of loading a second portion of the stored data to the volatile memory, sending a signal to indicate to a host device operatively coupled to the data storage device that the volatile memory is ready for use by the host device.
