Abstract: A method includes compressing input data to form compressed data and comparing a size of the compressed data to a maximum allowed size determined from a fixed sector size for a lower tier of the multi-tier storage system and a minimum pad length for a pad that is stored in the same sector as the compressed data when the compressed data is migrated to the lower tier. When the size of the compressed data is greater than the maximum allowed size, the input data is stored instead of the compressed data in an upper tier of the multi-tier storage system.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory. A memory module has a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a memory module electronics (MME) circuit configured to program data to and read data from solid-state non-volatile memory cells of the NVM. A map structure associates logical addresses of user data blocks with physical addresses in the NVM at which the user data blocks are stored. A controller circuit arranges the user data blocks into map units (MUs), and directs the MME circuit to write the MUs to a selected page of the NVM. The controller circuit updates the map structure to list only a single occurrence of a physical address for all of the MUs written to the selected page. The map structure is further updated to list an MU offset and an MU length for each of the MUs written to the selected page.
