Content
In one embodiment, the storage division is an erase block and the apparatus 800 includes an erase module 810 that erases an erase block selected for recovery after the data recovery module 806 has copied valid data packets from the selected erase block and before the storage division recovery module 808 marks the erase block as available. For flash memory and other solid-state storage with an erase operation taking much longer than read or write operations, erasing a data block prior to making it available for writing new data is desirable for efficient operation. Where the solid-state storage 110 is arranged in banks 214, the erase operation by the erase module 810 may be executed on one bank while other banks are executing reads, writes, or other operations.
