Example embodiments of the present disclosure disclose method and system for performing read/write operations in NAND memory. A memory controller of the NAND memory receives write request from host controller to write data present in set of support cell blocks of NAND memory into a 'n'-level cell block of NAND memory. The write request includes information about mapping between set of support cell blocks and ‘n’-level cell block. The mapping between set of support cell blocks and ‘n’-level cell block is used to update L2P table (). Further, memory controller performs copyback operation on set of support cell blocks for writing data to ‘n’-level cell block based on L2P table using NAND latches. On receiving read request, host controller retrieves data from at least one support cell block associated with ‘n’-level cell block based on mapping on determining ‘n’-level cell block is listed in active block list.

Method and system for performing read and write operations in cells of a NAND memory

A method of operating a solid state drive (SSD) is provided. The method includes generating, by a controller provided in the SSD, a free block list indicating a plurality of free super blocks, wherein adjacent free super blocks of the plurality of free super blocks correspond to different dies of a plurality of dies provided in the SSD; and allocating, by the controller, a free super block from among the plurality of free super blocks indicated by the free block list for each of a host write operation and a garbage collection write operation, according to a sequence of the plurality of free super blocks indicated by the free block list.

Method of optimizing quality of service (QOS) in solid-state drives (SSDS) and an SSD thereof

Provided are methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable storage media for reducing an open time of a solid-state drive (SSD). In an embodiment, a method includes dividing a logical-to-physical (L2P) address mapping table of the SSD into a plurality of segments. The method further includes assigning one journal buffer of a plurality of journal buffers to each segment of the plurality of segments. The method further includes recreating, during a power on sequence of the SSD, a portion of the plurality of segments by replaying a first subset of the plurality of journal buffers. The method further includes sending, to a host device, a device-ready signal upon successful recreation of the portion of the plurality of segments. The method further includes recreating, in a background mode, a remaining portion of the plurality of segments by replaying a second subset of the plurality of journal buffers.
