Abstract:
Non-volatile memory systems such as those using NAND FLASH technology have a property that a memory location can be written to only once prior to being erased, and a contiguous group of memory locations need to be erased simultaneously. The process of recovering space that is no longer being used for storage of current data, called garbage collection, may interfere with the rapid access to data in other memory locations of the memory system during the erase period. The effects of garbage collection on system performance may be mitigated by performing portions of the process contemporaneously with the user initiated reading and writing operations. The memory circuits and the data may also be configured such that the data is stored in stripes of a RAID array and the scheduling of the erase operations may be arranged so that the erase operations for garbage collection are hidden from the user operations.

Claim (Index 9):
The data storage system of  claim 7 , wherein the DA includes a first set of pages forming an overflow area (OA) and a second set of pages forming an end buffer (EB), wherein the processor is further configured to:\n when the WP reaches the end of the BA, continue to write data sequentially into pages in the OA and each next sequential page in the OA, changing the page in the OA from a free page to a live page; increment the WP for each write operation to the OA causing the WP to point to a next free page in the OA; for each write operation to the OA, move a live page of data from the BA to another memory page location changing the live page of data in the BA to a dead page of data; when the WP reaches the end of the OA, continue to write data to the EB and each next page in the EB, changing the page in the EB from a free page to a live page; and for each write operation to the EB, move multiple live pages of data from the BA to another memory page location to increase a rate that the live pages of data in the BA are changed to dead pages of data.
