发明名称 Solid state drive power safe wear-leveling
摘要 A solid state drive includes a plurality of flash memory devices, and a memory controller coupled to the plurality of flash memory devices. The memory controller is configured to logically associate blocks from the plurality of flash memory devices to form zip codes, the zip codes associated with corresponding erase counters. The solid state drive further includes a processor and a computer-readable memory having instructions stored thereon. The processor may perform a wear-leveling operation by determining that blocks in a first zip code have been erased and incrementing a first erase counter associated with the first zip code. It may then be determined that a second erase counter associated with a second zip code is low relative to at least one other erase counter, and based on this determination, data from blocks in the second zip code may be written to new blocks as part of a wear-leveling operation.
