Cache preservation with non–volatile cache
The Non–Volatile Cache (NVC) allows controller cache data to be stored indefinitely. If the controller has data in the cache memory during a power outage or improper system shutdown, little power from the battery (Energy Pack) is used to transfer the cache data to non-volatile flash storage where it remains until power is restored and the system is started. If the cache preservation process is interrupted by power-on, the controller may request an extra reset during the boot to complete the process.
