Abstract
A memory subsystem has at least one first mass memory with a solid-state memory medium, at least one second mass memory with a moving read/write head or moving memory medium, and at least one control unit for controlling the first mass memory and the second mass memory. A method of operating the memory subsystem includes receiving a request for storing or reading data, defining first and second memory regions in the first and second mass memories, respectively, and transmitting first and second subrequests to the first and second memory regions, respectively.
