摘要: A device is disclosed for storing mapping information a logical block address identifying being accessed by host to physical address, free area of nonvolatile memory, the selectively erasable and having one or more sectors that may be individually moved. The including virtual an “original” location, within wherein stored moved “moved” are further status use providing regarding accessed.
