Abstract
A Solid State Drive (SSD) is disclosed. The SSD may include flash memory to store data. An SSD controller may manage reading and writing data to the flash memory. The SSD may include an automatic stream detection logic to select a stream identifier responsive to attributes of data. A garbage collection logic may select an erase block and program valid data in the erase block into a second block responsive to a stream ID determined the automatic stream detection logic. The stream ID may be determined after the garbage collection logic has selected the erase block for garbage collection.
