METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MANAGE INTERMITTENTLY CONNECTABLE STORAGE MEDIA

A disclosed example to manage intermittently connectable storage media includes a cache initializer to initialize a nonvolatile cache corresponding to an intermittently connectable storage media device connected to a host system; a cache flush manager to change a cache flush mode associated with the nonvolatile cache from a cache write through mode to a cache write back mode based on the intermittently connectable storage media device being disconnected from the host system; a cache access manager to maintain the nonvolatile cache after the intermittently connectable storage media device is disconnected, and in response to a data access request corresponding to the intermittently connectable storage media device, perform a corresponding data access operation using the nonvolatile cache.
