Zusammenfassung: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 firstusage 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 determiningthat 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. 提供了用于高效垃圾收集的预测块分配的存储系统和方法。种方法涉及确定存储系统中的存储器正在第使用场景中还是第二使用场景中被使用;响应于确定存储器正在第使用场景中被使用,使用第块分配方法;以及响应于确定存储器正在第二使用场景中被使用,使用第二块分配方法,其中第块分配方法分配比第二块分配方法更接近于需要垃圾收集的块。
