Abstract :
Solid-state disk drives (SSDs), based on flashmemory technology, have emerged as popular alternatives to conventional magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs). There is a strong motivation to use flash-based media for digital video recording (DVR), especially in mobile and handheld devices, but the recording and playback process must be carefully designed to take into account the unique properties of SSDs in order to maximize the lifetime of the drive. This outlines features that can be added to a SSD file system to increase drive lifetime, and simulation results.
