Abstract: A method includes, in a memory controller that controls a memory, evaluating an available memory space remaining in the memory to write data. A redundant storage configuration is selected in the memory controller depending on the available memory space. Redundancy information is calculated over the data using the selected redundant storage configuration. The data and the redundancy information are written to the available memory space in the memory.

Abstract: A method for data storage includes receiving data items associated with respective logical addresses for storage in a memory that includes multiple memory units. Respective estimates of a performance characteristic are obtained for the multiple memory units. A mapping, which maps the logical addresses to respective physical storage locations in the multiple memory units, is adapted based on the estimates so as to balance the performance characteristic across the memory units. The data items are stored in the physical storage locations in accordance with the adapted mapping.

Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more storage commands and at least one flush command in a storage device, which includes a non-volatile memory and a volatile buffer for buffering data received for storage in the non-volatile memory. The flush command instructs the storage device to commit the data buffered in the volatile buffer to the non-volatile memory. The storage commands are executed in accordance with a first storage rule. The flush command is executed in accordance with a second storage rule having smaller latency relative to the first storage rule.

Abstract: A method in a storage device includes receiving from a host storage commands for execution in a non-volatile memory of the storage device. At least a subset of the storage commands are to be executed in accordance with an order-of-arrival in which the storage commands in the subset are received. The received storage commands are executed in the non-volatile memory in accordance with internal scheduling criteria of the storage device, which permit deviations from the order-of-arrival, but such that execution of the storage commands in the subset reflects the order-of-arrival to the host.
