NAND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING NAND PAGE BUFFERS TO IMPROVE THE TRANSFER BUFFER UTILIZATION OF A SOLID STATE DRIVE

摘要

Page data received from the host (eg, upper page data) is stored in the transmit buffer of the controller of the solid state drive. Other page data (eg, lower page data) is read from non-volatile memory (eg, NAND memory) for storage in the transfer buffer as error corrected page data. The error-corrected page data and the page data are written to the non-volatile memory. In further embodiments, the controller loads page data (eg, upper page data) received from the host into one or more NAND page buffers. The controller reads other page data (eg, lower page data) from the NAND memory to store in the transfer buffer as error corrected page data. The error corrected page data stored in the transmit buffer is loaded into one or more NAND page buffers.
