    摘要: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and devices for expanding the storage capacity in a storage device, including the steps of: creating at least one partition in a storage memory of the storage device; designating a reserved-storage area and an enabled-storage area in at least one partition; storing a partition size in a FAT of the storage memory; and upon authorization, increasing the partition size to include sectors in the reserved-storage area, thereby expanding the storage capacity in a storage device. Preferably, the reserved-storage area is not accessible by a host system. Preferably, the partition size is determined from a partition range stored in a master boot record in the storage memory. Most preferably, the partition range is determined from an enabled capacity stored in a memory-management area in the storage memory, and wherein the memory-management area is not accessible by a host system.

    摘要: A local storage device (LSD) is provided configured to have a host device (HD) in communication with the LSD. The LSD includes a memory array. The LSD is configured to characterize data access usage of the LSD by at least one program executing on the HD. The LSD is configured to monitor access to the LSD as a result of data access operations by the HD relative to the memory array of the LSD. The LSD is additionally configured to determine characteristics of the monitored access. The LSD is additionally configured to, based on characteristics of the monitored access, determine and store data on the LSD indicative of the characterized monitored access.

    摘要: A computing device including a host device (HD) is in communication with a local storage device (LSD), wherein the LSD includes a memory array. A search index is generated with respect to data stored in the memory array of the LSD. By the LSD without involvement of the HD, the index data is generated with respect to the data stored in the memory array of the LSD. By the LSD, the generated index data is stored on the LSD as at least a part of the search index. The index may include data that can be used to respond to search queries with respect to data of the LSD. The queries may be originated from a HD or from within the LSD. The use of the index is not limited to responding to search queries. For example, the index may be used for content screening.
