Zusammenfassung:A storage device uses non-volatile memory devices for caching. The storage device operates in a mode referred to herein as write-back mode. In write-back mode, a storage device responds to a request to write data by persistently writing the data to a cache in a non-volatile memory device and acknowledges to the requestor that the data is written persistently in the storage device. The acknowledgement is sent without necessarily having written the data that was requested to be written to primary storage. Instead, the data is written to primary storage later.
