Abstract
When a read command is received from a host requesting data stored on a disk of a Data Storage Device (DSD), it is determined whether the DSD is in a startup period and whether the requested data is stored in a solid state memory of the DSD. The requested data is designated for storage in the solid state memory if it is determined that the DSD is in the startup period and the requested data is not stored in the solid state memory.
