Storage system and method for predictive block allocation for efficient garbage collection
A storage system and method for predictive block allocation for efficient garbage collection are provided. One method involves determining whether a memory in a storage system is being used in a first usage scenario or a second usage scenario; in response to determining that the memory is being used in the first usage scenario, using a first block allocation method; and in response to determining that the memory is being used in the second usage scenario, using a second block allocation method, wherein the first block allocation method allocates blocks that are closer to needing garbage collection than the second block allocation method.
