Due to its advantages, such as shock resistance, low power consumption, and so on, solid state drives are considered as a next generation storage device. And write amplification is a very import system parameter for evaluating performance. To simplify the analytical model of write amplification for solid state drives adopting page-level address translation mechanism, this paper proposes a probability model. Furthermore, numerical results based on our proposed probability model are also obtained. This paper can pose as a guideline for a first-order estimation of the write amplification for parameter ranges in solid state drives taking page mapping scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
