Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention includes a nonvolatile memory system for storing sector information in storage locations within nonvolatile memory organized into blocks, a plurality of blocks defining a super block and each block having a predetermined plurality of sectors. The nonvolatile memory system includes a controller for shifting sector information to a first and a second block of a particular super block and writing sector information to the first block of the particular super block, wherein shifting to the second block occurs entirely during the writing to the first block thereby decreasing the time required to perform write operations to blocks and increasing overall system performance.
