Abstract
Methods of operating a storage device include reading first data from a first storage location of a first memory of the storage device, storing the first data to a first storage location of a second memory of the storage device, compressing the first data and storing the compressed first data to a second storage location of the second memory, evaluating the compressed first data to determine if it is deemed compressible, storing the first data from the first storage location of the second memory to a different storage location of the first memory if the compressed first data was determined to not be compressible, and combining the compressed first data with additional compressed data and storing the combined compressed data to a different storage location of the first memory if the compressed first data was determined to be compressible.
