Abstract
A method of managing a non-volatile memory module, the method may include: allocating, by a memory controller, logically erased physical blocks of a non-volatile memory module to a spare block pool; allocating, by the memory controller, physical blocks from the spare block pool to become buffer blocks of a buffer of the non-volatile memory module; and controlling, by the memory controller, a utilization of the buffer blocks of the buffer by applying a page based buffer management scheme.
