Abstract
System and methods are provided for data storage management in a memory device. A first logical block corresponding to a plurality of first physical blocks of a memory device is selected. A source physical block within the first physical blocks is determined, the source physical block including less valid data than one or more second physical blocks within the first physical blocks. A target physical block of the memory device is obtained. The valid data in the source physical block is copied to the target physical block. The source physical block is released for storing new data.
