Abstract

A storage device may be configured to copy valid data units from a source memory area to a destination memory area according to a source-to-destination mapping. The source-to-destination mapping may be generated based on a ranking scheme that considers the number of valid data units being stored in each of a plurality of source pages storing the data.
