Embodiment approach

[0322] Several other embodiments are contemplated by the present invention. Having described moving a full metapage to SEED, SSD, or flash, an almost full metapage can be moved before it is completely filled. Thus, full may be full with reference to some threshold, for example, may be the metapage size minus 512 bytes.

[0323] Multiple encodings of data type bits and other status fields, pointers etc. are possible. The data type status bit does not need to be the first bit of the entry. Entries can be linked with entries in other tables, such as a separate table for labels or significands. Temporary files can have various extensions, and new extensions can be added to the list for searching. Temporary files created by well-known programs have well-known file extensions, such as word processors and Internet browsers, and additional extensions can be added at any time. These additional file extensions can be added to the SEED and SSD controller control software via firmware...

Abstract

The invention provides a VMD (Virtual-Memory Device) executed on a host and application thereof for enhancing flash memory endurance of an SEED (Super Enhanced Endurance Device) or an SSD (Solid-State Drive). The VMD driver utilizes a high-level or a low-level filtering driver to intercept and capture access to flash memory of the host and to sort access to the flash memory of the host into paging file data type, temporary files, meta data and user data files by using address range and file extensions read by the meta data. Optionally, the paging files and the temporary files are written in the flash memory. Full pages and local pages are grouped into multi-page metapage according to data type before SSD storage data passes. A virtual RAM disk and cache storing the data type in the host DRAM are managed and refreshed to SSD through the VMD driver. Write data is stored for blocks or pages managing functions. Flash memory abrasion is reduced in a backup / exchange area in the DRAM. The reference voltage is adjusted when error correction fails.
