Abstract

A method according to one approach is for organizing blocks in a non-volatile storage controller. The method includes: forming a write stripe using a single block from channels of the non-volatile storage. First and second logical erase units are also formed by grouping the blocks from the formed write stripe into at least first and second sub-stripes. The first sub-stripe is assigned to store new data, and the second sub-stripe is assigned to store relocation data. Moreover, writing data to the respective sub-stripes is performed sub-page stripe by sub-page stripe.
