Abstract
A type of data relocation to perform on a group of solid state storage cells is selected from a group that includes garbage collection and wear leveling. Source blocks in the group of solid state storage cells are identified using the selected type of data relocation. The source blocks are read in order to obtain relocated data and the relocated data is stored in an open block in the group of solid state storage cells. Relocated data associated with the selected type of data relocation is stored in the open block and relocated data associated with the unselected type of data relocation is excluded from the open block.
