Block Mapping
Contents
Background information
Often considered the most important part of a FTL Block mapping is responsible for translating physical addresses of data stored on dies in the form,
Of logical sectors to digital addresses in the form of blocks and pages and in reverse, due to the fact that a entire file data may not be sorted linterially and is likely
stored in separate areas or chips all together Block mapping is responsible for mapping the scatted physical cells into one coherent digital "chunk" of data.
while every controller tends to have a different block mapping algorithm, most tend to use blocks for their conversions, however some algorithms do use pages and or both.
