Abstract
A method and system for partial page programming in a storage device is disclosed. An amount of data for partial page programming is determined. The amount may include host data (such as host data in a host command sent from a host device) and/or binary cache index data. The write step, used for partial page programming, is dynamically set based on the determined amount of data for partial page programming. In this way, the write step for partial page programming is dynamic rather than fixed. Further, dynamically setting the write step may reduce the number of programming steps for storing the host data in the host command and may reduce padding when partial page programming, thereby leaving less invalid data inside a block.
