Abstract
Methods and systems for wear-leveling in flash storage devices are provided. A flash storage system performs wear-leveling by tracking data errors that occur when dynamic data is read from a first storage block in a first flash storage device and moving the dynamic data to a second storage block in a second flash storage device. Additionally, wear-leveling is achieved by identifying a third storage block containing static data and moves the static data to the storage block previously containing the dynamic data.
