METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STORING DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17705636 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STORING DATA
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for storing data that involves performing garbage collection on a first block of blocks in a storage apparatus. The valid data stored in the first block is then transferred to a second block based on the level of the first block. The level of the second block is not lower than the level of the first block.
- The method involves performing garbage collection on a first block of blocks in a storage apparatus.
- Valid data stored in the first block is transferred to a second block.
- The transfer is based on the level of the first block among multiple levels.
- The level of the second block is not lower than the level of the first block.
Potential Applications
- Data storage systems
- Solid-state drives (SSDs)
- Cloud storage platforms
Problems Solved
- Efficient management of data storage
- Optimizing storage space
- Preventing data loss or corruption during garbage collection
Benefits
- Improved performance and efficiency of data storage
- Enhanced reliability and data integrity
- Better utilization of storage space
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for storing data includes receiving a message to perform garbage collection on a first block of blocks included in a storage apparatus, and, based on the message, performing garbage collection on the first block by storing valid data that is stored in the first block into a second block according to a level of the first block among plural levels. A level of the second block among the plural levels is not lower than the level of the first block.
