Methods and systems to selectively map higher-usage addresses to higher-endurance memory cells of a flash memory, and lower-usage addresses to lower-endurance memory cells of the flash memory. Address usage may be determined with respect to the most recent write operation corresponding to an address and/or with respect to a frequency of write operations corresponding to the address. Higher-endurance memory cells may include single level cells (SLCs). Lower-endurance memory cells may include multi-level cells (MLCs). Improved endurance may be obtained with a relatively small percentage of higher-endurance memory cells, at a relatively low cost.
