Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage, in particular to a memory management method and device. Background technique
[0002] A non-volatile memory such as a solid state disk (Solid State Disk, SSD) is generally implemented by using a NAND flash memory (NAND Flash). NAND Flash is a non-volatile random access storage medium. Its characteristic is that the data does not disappear after power failure, so it can be used as an external memory. NAND Flash is divided into two types: Single-Level Cell (SLC) and Multi-Level Cell (MLC). The difference between SLC and MLC is mainly the structure. Each storage unit of the SLC chip only stores 1Bit (byte) of data. The SLC type SSD has high efficiency, fast speed, high reliability, long life and power saving. The MLC chip uses a large number of voltage levels to store 2Bit or more Bit data in each storage unit. The data density is relatively high, and the MLC type SSD is cheap. The speci...
