Abstract
Storing data from a volatile memory of a host in a non-volatile memory (NVM) of a data storage device (DSD). Data from the volatile memory of the host is identified which has been compressed with a first compression ratio. The identified data is decompressed and a second compression ratio is determined based on a time to restore the data to the volatile memory of the host and characteristics of the NVM. At least a portion of the decompressed data is recompressed with the second compression ratio and at least a portion of the recompressed data is stored in the NVM.
