发明名称 METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR PHYSICAL-TO-LOGICAL MAPPING IN SOLID STATE DRIVES
摘要 A data storage device comprises a plurality of non-volatile memory devices storing physical pages, each stored at a predetermined physical location. A controller may be coupled to the memory devices and configured to access data stored in a plurality of logical pages (L-Pages), each associated with an L-Page number that enables the controller to logically reference data stored in the physical pages. A volatile memory may comprise a logical-to-physical address translation map that enables the controller to determine a physical location, within the physical pages, of data stored in each L-Page. The controller may be configured to maintain, in the memory devices, journals defining physical-to-logical correspondences, each journal covering a predetermined range of physical pages and comprising a plurality of entries that associate one or more physical pages to each L-Page. The controller may read the journals upon startup and rebuild the address translation map from the read journals.
