Abstract
A storage system and method for generating block allocation groups based on deterministic data patterns are provided. A storage system is provided comprising a memory comprising a plurality of blocks and a controller. The controller is configured to infer characteristics of the memory from data patterns of data stored in the plurality of blocks; and group the plurality of blocks based on the inferred characteristics of the memory.
