Paragraph Number

110

In some embodiments, a storage controller 102 may associate metadata, also referred to as media characteristics, with one or more of the storage blocks (logical erase blocks, physical erase blocks, logical pages, and/or physical pages). The storage controller 102 may manage metadata that identifies logical addresses for which a logical erase block stores data, as well as the respective numbers of stored data packets for each logical erase block, data block, or sector within a logical address space. A storage controller 102 may store metadata or media characteristic data in a variety of locations, including on non-volatile storage media, in volatile memory, in a structure stored with each logical erase block, or the like.
