  2. 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 ...

  3. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    As a result of having no moving mechanical parts, solid-state storage has no data access latency required to move the media as in an electromechanical storage device. This allows for significantly higher I/O operation rates . Additionally, solid-state storage consumes less power, has better physical shock resistance, and produces less heat and ...

    If the filter fails to capture a dust particle, the particle can land on the platter, causing a head crash if the head happens to sweep over it. After a head crash, particles from the damaged platter and head media can cause one or more bad sectors. These, in addition to platter damage, will quickly render a drive useless.

    The SSD controller will use free blocks on the SSD for garbage collection and wear leveling. The portion of the user capacity which is free from user data (either already TRIMed or never written in the first place) will look the same as over-provisioning space (until the user saves new data to the SSD).

    A scalable block layer for high-performance SSD storage, known as blk-multiqueue or blk-mq and developed primarily by Fusion-io engineers, was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 3.13, released on 19 January 2014. This leverages the performance offered by SSDs and NVMe by allowing much higher I/O submission rates.
