Abstract: The present invention is directed to an SSD that stores data in a plurality of regions of the SSD, each of the regions associated with a plurality of logical cluster addresses. The SSD also sets a deallocation status of each of the plurality of regions in a deallocate flag bitmap and sets a deallocation status of one or more sections of the deallocate flag bitmap in a deallocate summary table, wherein each of the one or more sections corresponds to more than one of the plurality of regions. In response to a shutdown or loss of power event, The SSD writes to non-volatile memory only sections of the deallocation flag bitmap with a predetermined deallocation status in the deallocate summary table. The SSD stores the deallocate flag bitmap is stored in a first volatile memory and stores the deallocate summary table is stored in a second volatile memory, different from the first volatile memory.

Abstract: Various implementations described herein relate to systems and methods for dynamically managing buffers of a storage device, including receiving, by a controller of the storage device from a host, information indicative of a frequency by which data stored in the storage device is accessed, and in response to receiving the information determining, by the controller, the order by which read buffers of the storage device are allocated for a next read command. The NAND read count of virtual Word-Lines (WLs) are also used to cache more frequently accessed WLs, thus proactively reducing read disturb and consequently increasing NAND reliability and NAND life.

Abstract: In an SSD including a host interface, controller, non-volatile memory coupled to the controller, and volatile memory, data is stored in non-volatile memory in clusters having a cluster start address and a cluster end address. A mapping table is maintained in volatile memory, which indicates by a trim signature deallocated clusters in non-volatile memory. The trim table is populated with deallocated ranges and an associated offset within the non-volatile memory. The controller receives from the host interface a sequence of commands including a deallocate command including at least one address range including a start address and an end address, or a start address and a length of the address range. The controller processes the deallocate command by selecting one or both of a write-to-non-volatile-memory action and a record-to-volatile-memory action. In cases of power failure, the mapping table is restored for deallocated ranges at specific offsets recorded in the trim table.
