Abstract
Rather than storing multiple video files in a jumbo block (JB), the video file is stored in one or more complete JBs while the remaining data of the video file that does not fill a complete JB is stored in a tail block (TB). Generally, data sets are not mixed within a JB, but rather, the extra, excess, or tail data is stored in the TB. Multiple video file extra, excess, or tail data can be stored in a common TB. Stated another way, a TB is able to hold multiple video file tails from multiple video files. The use of the TB decreases garbage collection (GC) of jumbo blocks.
