Flash Memory Management

HyReliability™ flash management: superior wear leveling, read disturb management and power fail management to ensure the highest reliability and endurance
hyMap® customizable sub-page-based Flash Translation Layer (FTL) mapping enables second to none random write performance, minimal write amplification, and consequently the highest endurance for usage profiles with emphasis on random access (e.g. JEDEC Enterprise)
Flexible pre-format settings for SLC caching, over-provisioning, RAID protection and performance tuning
Advanced thermal management features to maximize performance and data protection at extended temperatures
Optimized for fast boot-up times
Static, Dynamic and Global Wear leveling to maximize system write endurance
Bad Block Management
Intelligent Garbage Collection
Read Disturb Management and Dynamic Data Refresh to maximize data retention
Management of sudden power-fails
Interleaving, cache, and multi-plane programming
Firmware is stored redundantly for recovery and refresh
In-Field Firmware update without user data loss
Secure erase, fast erase and secure TRIM
