Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for protecting sensitive data in a storage device having wear leveling. In the method, a write command, with an associated sensitive write signal indicating that sensitive data is associated with the write command, is received. The sensitive data is further associated with at least one address pointing to a storage location within an initial physical storage block. The write command is executed by writing to at least one storage location within an available physical storage block, pointing the at least one address to the at least one storage location within the available physical storage block, and erasing the initial physical storage block to complete execution of the write command.
