3.7 Garbage Collection
Garbage collection is used to maintain data consistency and perform continual data cleansing on SSDs. It runs
as a background process, freeing up valuable controller resources while sorting good data into available blocks,
and deleting bad blocks. It also significantly reduces write operations to the drive, thereby increasing the SSD’s
speed and lifespan.
