ABSTRACT:
A device that operates in low power and high power modes comprises volatile memory and nonvolatile memory that includes at least one of a low power (LP) hard disk drive (HDD) with a nonvolatile semiconductor memory interface and a high power HDD with a nonvolatile semiconductor memory interface. An operating system includes a virtual memory adjustment module that enables designation of at least a portion of said nonvolatile memory for paging files to increase virtual memory of said device system.
