Our proposed strategy not only improves the capacity of a flash memory device as compared to the state-of-the-art schemes suggested in the literature, but is also compatible with the existing FTL-based schemes.Ī notable power off recovery system called PORCE for flash memory has been created by researchers in the field. To combat the sudden power off problem, the suggested RSLSP approach saves and keeps the map block data as a combination of two tables, i.e., first is the original block and the second block is a replica for the original one. In this paper, we proposed an effective scheme for the recovery of flash memory leveraging the shadow paging concept for storage devices using flash memory. Although, the power off recovery plays a significant role in portable devices, most FTL algorithms did not consider the power off recovery scheme. Nevertheless, a flash memory entails special features such as “erase-before-write” and “wear-leveling”, an FTL (flash translation layer) upon the software layer should be included. Flash memory is presently being incorporated with distinct embedded system devices such as with digital cameras, smart phones, personal digital assistants (PDA), and sensor devices.

The flash storage is a non-volatile semiconductor device that is constantly powered and has several advantages such as small size, lower power consumption, fast access, convenient portability, heat dissipation, shock resistance, data retention next to a power off, and random access.
