Abstract
The invention relates to a storage system including at least one non-volatile memory containing information likely to be updated, and more particularly, to storage supports such as chip cards. The invention likewise relates to a process of management of the memory. According to the invention, the system includes a memory manager that is able to displace all or a portion of the contents of the memory respectively over all or a portion of the memory, in order to limit the attrition of memory cells due to the frequent updating of certain data.
