  2. Trim (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)

    A trim command (known as TRIM in the ATA command set, and UNMAP in the SCSI command set) allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered to be "in use" and therefore can be erased internally. [1] Trim was introduced soon after SSDs were introduced.

  3. Wear leveling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_leveling

    The first type of wear leveling is called dynamic wear leveling and it uses a map to link logical block addresses (LBAs) from the OS to the physical flash memory. Each time the OS writes replacement data, the map is updated so the original physical block is marked as invalid data, and a new block is linked to that map entry. Each time a block ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification

    TRIM is a SATA command that enables the operating system to tell an SSD which blocks of previously saved data are no longer needed as a result of file deletions or volume formatting. When an LBA is replaced by the OS, as with an overwrite of a file, the SSD knows that the original LBA can be marked as stale or invalid and it will not save those ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcache

    bcache (abbreviated from block cache) is a cache mechanism in the Linux kernel's block layer, which is used for accessing secondary storage devices. It allows one or more fast storage devices, such as flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs), to act as a cache for one or more slower storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDDs); this ...

  6. Bad sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_sector

    Compared to ATA, the SCSI command set allows finer-grained management of bad sectors. Users can read the G-LIST, control whether automatic remap is performed, and use a dedicated command REASSIGN BLOCKS to manually remap if needed. The command set also provides a way to perform low-level format with FORMAT UNIT. [10]
