Abstract
Methods and apparatuses to fragment data in a flash memory device are presented. The apparatus includes a host configured to request a flash memory device, via a memory bus, to fragment data stored in the flash memory device in response to a determination of a data fragmentation status of the flash memory device exceeding a threshold. The method includes determining a data fragmentation status of the flash memory device exceeding a threshold and requesting, by a host, the flash memory device to fragment data stored in the flash memory device in response to the determining the data fragmentation status exceeding the threshold.
