Claim 13:
14. A system, comprising:
a host device, including a processor;
a flash memory device coupled to the host device, wherein the flash memory device includes:
at least one flash memory storage array;
a sequential mapping table stored within the flash memory storage array, wherein the sequential mapping table includes sequential write entries where a number of sequential write entries is greater than one, the sequential mapping table including data fields for:
a logical block start location;
a physical block start location;
a sequential block write length; and
firmware to load data from the sequential mapping table into a controller wherein the controller is configured to interface between the flash memory device and the processor, and wherein the firmware is configured to only add an entry into the sequential mapping table if a new write is sequentially longer than a shortest entry in the sequential mapping table.
