This document describes techniques and apparatuses for reliable Flash storage, which may enable reliable read, write, and erase operations for Flash storage. In aspects, data may be stored in a Flash memory device through the use of two or more pages. A primary page may be determined from the two or more pages as an appropriate page to perform storage operations. An empty entry may be determined within the primary page and data may be stored within the empty entry. After data is written to an entry, previous entries may be invalidated, such as to prevent the access or attempted use of invalid or deprecated data. In doing so, prior entries may only be altered once a new entry has been stored within the Flash device. Accordingly, the described techniques and apparatuses may enable reliable Flash storage.
