Mechanisms for controlling background wear leveling are provided, including: increasing a first counter; comparing the first counter to a first threshold; and in response to the first counter meeting the first threshold: decreasing the first counter by a value of the first threshold; and triggering background wear leveling. In some embodiments, the first counter is increased in response to receiving a write trigger. In some embodiments, the first threshold is based upon a page size and a number of planes of physical media of an SSD. In some embodiments, the mechanisms further comprise: incrementing a second counter in response to receiving a host write trigger; comparing the second counter to a second threshold; and in response to the second counter meeting the second threshold, decreasing the second counter by the second threshold, wherein the increasing the first counter is performed in response to the second counter meeting the second threshold.
A system for controlling background wear leveling, comprising:
A method for controlling background wear leveling, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling background wear leveling, the method comprising:
