Abstract
A non-volatile storage system is disclosed which provides a mapping table which includes a granularity which does not correspond to the page size of a non-volatile storage array. A reduced mapping table granularity enables more than one mapping entry to exist in a single page on the solid-state array. A write command which does not exceed a mapping table entry can invalidate only a portion of the written page, and can be combined with a second write command to write a new page of the solid-state array.
