Abstract
An imminent state reset of a data storage device is detected. In response to determining volatile data of the data storage device could be lost in response to the state reset, the volatile data of the data storage device is stored to a backup memory of the data storage device together with first header data that facilitates recovering the volatile data. The backup memory includes non-volatile, solid-state memory. In response to determining the volatile data would not be lost in response to the state reset, second header data is stored in the backup memory. After the state reset, a recovery of the volatile data from in the backup memory is attempted if the first header data is detected, or a host device is alerted if neither the first header data or second header data is detected.
