"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.
