Content
In another embodiment, the storage division selection module 804 selects a storage division for recovery by identifying a storage division or erase block with a low amount of wear. For example, identifying a storage division or erase block with a low amount of wear may include identifying a storage division with a low amount of invalid data, a low number of erase cycles, low bit error rate, or low program count (low number of times a page of data in a buffer is written to a page in the storage division; program count may be measured from when the device was manufactured, from when the storage division was last erased, from other arbitrary events, and from combinations of these). The storage division selection module 804 may also use any combination of the above or other parameters to determine a storage division with a low amount of wear. Selecting a storage division for recovery by determining a storage division with a low amount of wear may be desirable to find storage divisions that are under used, may be recovered for wear leveling, etc.
