Abstract
A technique is directed to providing endurance to solid state device (SSD) storage. The technique involves storing data in an erase block of the SSD storage. The technique further involves detecting that an internal periodic refresh service operating within the SSD storage is currently configured to perform a refresh operation for the erase block at a target refresh time that is within an upcoming amount of time. The technique further involves, in response to detecting that the internal periodic refresh service is currently configured to perform a refresh operation for the erase block at the target refresh time that is within the upcoming amount of time, performing a system-level garbage collection operation on the data stored in the erase block to prevent the internal periodic refresh service from performing a refresh operation for the erase block at the target refresh time.
