Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a Solid State Drive (SSD) performance testing technology, and in particular, to a method, a system, a storage medium, and a terminal for testing an SSD wear leveling mechanism.

Background

With the development of technologies such as internet, cloud computing, internet of things and the like, the solid state disk SSD is widely used as a new generation of storage. In the development and test process of the Solid State Disk (SSD), the service life of the SSD is of great concern, and the service life of a FLASH memory FLASH used in the SSD is divided according to a sector. When the erasing times (0 changes to 1 or 1 changes to 0 and is calculated once) of the same bit position reach a certain number (the theoretical value is 10 ten thousand times), the bit position cannot be written into (1 changes to 0), and the whole sector is influenced by one bit. After wear leveling is introduced into the SSD, a sector can be erased (the erasure is calculated once for each bit position), and then the position of each written content is changed, so that the FLASH service life can be prolonged by calculating once for each bit position until the whole sector is fully written (because different bit positions are operated each time). Assuming a 4K FLASH sector, 100 storage units can be divided, and after a wear leveling mechanism is introduced, 100 times of storing one data and only 2 times of erasing and writing of each storage unit are performed, while no wear mechanism is used, 1 storage unit can be erased and written 200 times, the service life of the storage unit is prolonged by 100 times, which also means that the service life of a sector is prolonged by 100 times. Therefore, the service life of the SSD is directly influenced by the quality of the wear leveling function introduced into the SSD, but with the increase of the SSD capacity, the test of the wear leveling mechanism needs to be verified after a large amount of data is written, and the test time is greatly prolonged.
