Doubt in Question 13 Assignment 11

[Pritesh Pawar]

Accepted Answers:

Flash storage does not allow you to write at page granularity

Flash storage allows you to write at block granularity

But what I think is we can write at page granularity but for ideal usage -

• Write entire blocks (do not update individual pages). Otherwise, writes too slow, wears out blocks too quickly.

In lecture notes - https://iitd.github.io/os/2017/lec/l31.html

it is clearly mentioned - "Page is the unit of reading/writing"

Please review. 

Thanks
