A system and method of managing non-volatile computer storage media may include: receiving at least one value of at least one parameter, including for example: a size of data objects, a frequency of data write requests, a size of write units (WUs) and a required write amplification value; setting a cyclic write pointer to point to a WU having a logical address space; setting a cyclic garbage collection (GC) pointer to point to a WU having a logical address space, located ahead of the WU pointed by the write pointer; performing GC on the WU pointed by the GC pointer; and incrementing the cyclic GC pointer to point to a next WU according to the value of the cyclic write pointer and according to the at least one received parameter value.
