Paragraph Number

106

"Logical erase block" refers to another term for a storage block. In certain embodiments, a logical erase block refers to a set of logical pages that span planes, memory die, and/or chips. This organization of storage cells is deemed `logical` because the physical pages may not be directly coupled to each other. However, the physical pages are operated in parallel as though they are a single page. In like manner, multiple physical erase blocks may be operated in parallel as though they are a single erase block and are thus referred to as logical erase blocks. The terms logical erase block, metablock, and super block are used interchangeably herein.
