Abstract

A method for storing data in a memory, including compressing fixed-sized pages of data, and storing the compressed pages into available smaller memory spaces on a medium if the compressed page will fit into such space, or storing the compressed pages onto available larger memory spaces on the medium, if the compressed page will not fit into the smaller space.
