    Abstract: A method, according to one embodiment, includes selecting, from a buffer, a combination of compressed logical pages of data to maximize an amount of used space in an error correction code container. The method also preferably includes processing the combination of compressed logical pages to generate error correction code data. Furthermore, the method may include writing the data corresponding to the combination of compressed logical pages and the associated error correction code data to a non-volatile random access memory. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.

    Abstract: A data storage system includes a controller and a non-volatile memory array having a plurality of blocks each including a plurality of physical pages. The controller maintains a logical-to-physical translation (LPT)data structure that maps logical addresses to physical addresses and implements a first data protection scheme that stripes write data over the plurality of physica1 blocks. In response to a read request requesting data from a target page stripe, the controller detecting errors in multiple physical pages of the target page stripe. In responsive to detecting errors in multiple physical pages of the target page stripe, the controller scans the LPT data structure to identify a set of logical addresses mapped to the target page stripe and triggers recovery of the target page stripe by a higher level controller that implements a second data protection scheme, wherein triggering recovery includes transmitting the set of logical addresses to the higher level controller.
