    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array having non-volatile memory cells, and a memory controller configured to dynamically construct a superblock during each garbage collection process based, at least in part, on an amount of valid data present in each physical block of the memory array. Another memory device includes physical blocks of memory cells and a memory controller configured to construct a new superblock dynamically each time garbage collection occurs for the physical blocks regardless of whether any physical blocks are determined to be bad. Additional methods for managing operation of a memory device and related electronic systems are also described.

    Abstract: A computer storage device having: a host interface; a controller; non-volatile storage media having memory units of different types and having different program erase budgets; and firmware. The firmware instructs the controller to: generate an address map mapping logical addresses to physical addresses of the memory units the different types; and adjust the address map based at least in part on the program erase budgets to level wear across the memory units of the different types.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for secure storage device verification with multiple computing devices are described. A secure storage device may receive from a computing device a first command and a first public key of a first key pair associated with the computing device. The secure storage device may select a second key pair from a plurality of key pairs to associate with the computing device based on receiving the first command and the first public key. The secure storage device may also encrypt a second public key of the second key pair using the first public received from the computing device based on selecting the second key pair. The secure storage device may transmit to the computing device a message that includes the encrypted second public key.
