A method for reusing a destination block related to garbage collection (GC) in a memory
device, the associated memory device and the controller thereof, and the associated …

NAND flash-based SSDs utilize out-of-place update to prevent erase operations from
blocking regular requests, in the meanwhile, out-of-place update creates a huge amount of …

Due to the fast-growing amount of data and cost consideration, shingled-magnetic-recording
(SMR) drives are developed to provide low-cost and high-capacity data storage by …

This work discovers a flash memory performance issue resulting from flash superpages
organization. Because of process variation, each flash page has its own read/write …

Due to the cost consideration for data storage, high-areal-density shingled-magnetic-
recording (SMR) drives and data deduplication techniques are getting popular in many data …

Flash memories have been around for many years because of their high performance
compared to HDDs. But flash memories have a limited lifespan, and they will wear …

The NAND flash memories have endurance issues in a high-performance computing (HPC)
environment because of their blocks' limited lifetime. Hence, the NAND flash block allocation …

NAND flash memory has become the major storage media in mobile devices, such as
smartphones. However, the random write operations of NAND flash memory heavily affect …

One of the most important features of solid-state drives (SSDs) is the ability to update data
sectors out of place, performing garbage collection operations within its physical blocks, to …

NAND flash memories are widely utilized in embedded systems. However, these memories
limited endurance leads to the reduced reliability of flash storage devices. The NAND flash …
