Abstract
Memory blocks of a nonvolatile memory device are managed by identifying a full memory block, determining whether a block life of the full memory block exceeds a threshold value, and upon determining that the block life of the full memory block exceeds the threshold value, selecting the full memory block as a target block for garbage collection. The threshold of the block life is determined using an average write distance of logical pages programmed in the nonvolatile memory device.
