Abstract

Methods and apparatus related to non-volatile memory page sector rotation are described. In one embodiment, logic rotates the order of one or more sectors by a rotation value prior to storage of the one or more sectors in a non-volatile memory device. Logic then rotates the one or more sectors back by the rotation value after reading the one or more sectors from the non-volatile memory device. Furthermore, at least one indirection block (corresponding to the one or more sectors) is stored in at least two different logical memory pages of the non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
