Data storage system with non-volatile memory using both page write and block program and block erase

A data storage system, comprising:

• a controller electrically coupled with a host interface and a memory interface, the host interface operative to electrically communicate data operation signals between the controller and an external host system, and the controller operative to electrically communicate the data operation signals with the memory interface;
• at least one non-volatile memory that does not require an erase operation on the at least one non-volatile memory prior to a write operation on the at least one non-volatile memory;
• and
• access circuitry electrically coupled with the memory interface and the at least one non-volatile memory, the memory interface operative to electrically communicate the data operation signals from the controller to access circuitry, and the access circuitry operative to perform data operations on the at least one non-volatile memory based on the data operation signals, and
• wherein the data operation signals include one or more commands for data operations configured to operate on at least one page address within a block of data stored in the at least one non-volatile memory.
