A solid-state drive capable of executing a read operation concurrent with executing an erase operation, and a method of executing a read operation concurrent with executing an erase operation in a solid-state drive. A first portion of stored data that has been predicted (based on, e.g., recency of storage, frequency of access, relevancy to other operations) to be the subject of a potential read request is identified, and that data is copied to a page buffer. Subsequently, while executing an erase operation involving second data, an actual read request is received involving a third portion of stored data. The read request is executed without suspending the erase operation when the third portion of stored data is included in the first portion of stored data in the page buffer, and the erase operation is suspended to execute the read operation when the third portion of stored data is not included.
A method of executing a read operation concurrent with executing an erase operation in a solid-state drive, the solid-state drive including a non-volatile memory media, the method comprising:
A method of executing a read operation concurrent with executing an erase operation in a solid-state drive, the solid-state drive including a NAND-based memory media, the method comprising:
A solid-state drive capable of executing a read operation concurrent with executing an erase operation, the solid-state drive comprising:
