Abstract

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and a system for managing a non-volatile memory device. The method includes receiving data sectors; writing the data sectors into a buffer of the non-volatile memory device; maintaining at least one management data structure that comprises (a) location metadata about a location of each data sector in the buffer (b) timing metadata for each memory space portion that includes at least one data sector that is currently buffered in the buffer, selecting a selected buffer block in response to the location metadata and the timing metadata; and merging, before the buffer becomes full, data sectors of all of the at least one certain memory space portion into a sequential portion of the non-volatile memory device thereby emptying the selected buffer block, wherein the sequential portion differs from the buffer.
