Hi Stanley

In the 3.1 Spec:

"If the fWriteBoosterEn flag is set to zero, data written to any
logical unit is written in normal storage.
If the fWriteBoosterEn flag is set to one and the device is configured
in “shared buffer” mode, data written to any logical unit is written in
the shared WriteBooster Buffer."

so, IMO, fWriteBoosterEn is independant with WB buffer flush.

as for the flush:

"There are two methods for flushing data from the WriteBooster Buffer
to the normal storage: one is using an explicit flush command, the
other enabling the flushing during link hibernate state. If the
fWriteBoosterBufferFlushEn flag is set to one, the device shall flush
the data stored in the WriteBooster Buffer to the normal storage. If
fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate is set to one, the device
flushes the WriteBooster Buffer data automatically whenever the link
enters the hibernate (HIBERN8) state."

IMO, for the flush, it is controlled by fWriteBoosterBufferFlushEn and
fWriteBoosterBufferFlushDuringHibernate.

how do you understand the above two paragraphs from Spec?


thanks,
Bean
