Abstract: In various embodiments, a single virtualized error correcting code (ECC) NAND controller executes an ECC algorithm and manages a stack of NAND flash memories. The virtualized ECC NAND controller allows the host processor to drive the stack of flash memory devices as a single NAND chip while the controller redirects the data to the selected NAND memory device in the stack. In various embodiments, a controller manages a plurality of NAND memory devices. The controller provides power to a select one of the plurality of NAND memory devices at a time to conserve overall power consumption of the storage system.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, wear leveling may be done based on the difference in age of discarded blocks and engaged blocks. Data is moved to an older discarded block from a younger engaged block. Two wear leveling bits may be used for each logical block, such that the wear leveling bits are used in alternating cycles.
