摘要： A method for managing garbage collection of memory locations in an DSD having a plurality of dies each having a plurality of memory blocks includes: selecting a physical region of memory to be garbage collected, the selected physical region being a subset of a block management region; and garbage collecting the selected physical region. The garbage collecting includes: determining one or more journals corresponding to the selected physical region, the journal comprising transaction entries indicating what logical data are written to memory locations in the selected physical region; determining whether the memory locations within the physical region contain valid data based on a comparison of information in the journal and a mapping table; and if valid data exists, copying valid data into memory locations in memory regions other than the selected physical region of memory. The selected physical region of memory is erased when the block management region is erased.

摘要： Disclosed embodiments are directed to systems and methods for improving garbage collection and wear leveling performance in data storage systems. The embodiments can improve the efficiency of static wear leveling by picking the best candidate block for static wear leveling and/or postponing static wear leveling on certain candidate blocks. In one embodiment, one or more source blocks for a static wear leveling operation are selected based at least on whether the one or more blocks have a low P/E count and contain static data, such as data that has been garbage collected.

摘要： A data storage device comprises a non-volatile memory comprising a plurality of blocks, each configured to store a plurality of physical pages at predetermined physical locations. A controller programs and reads data stored in a plurality of logical pages. A volatile memory comprises a logical-to-physical address translation map configured to enabling determination of the physical location, within one or more physical pages, of the data stored in each logical page. A plurality of journals may be stored, each comprising a plurality of entries associating one or more physical pages to each logical page. At startup, the controller may read at least some of the plurality of journals in an order and rebuild the map; indicate a readiness to service data access commands after the map is rebuilt; rebuild a table from the map and, based thereon, select block(s) for garbage collection after having indicated the readiness to process the commands.

摘要： A data storage device may comprise non-volatile memory devices, each configured to store a plurality of physical pages, a controller and a first volatile memory configured to store a logical-to-physical address translation map that enables the controller to determine a physical location of logical pages. The controller may maintain, in the memory devices, a plurality of journals defining physical-to-logical page correspondences, each entry of which associating one or more physical pages to a logical page. Garbage collection may be carried out by reading entries of the journals; determining a validity of each logical page referenced by the read entries through a comparison with a corresponding entry in the map, the logical pages referenced by the read entries being stored in first physical pages; writing logical pages determined to be valid to second physical pages and updating the map accordingly; and designating at least the first physical pages as free space.
