Wear leveling (also written as wear levelling) is a technique for prolonging the service life of some kinds of erasable computer storage media, such as flash memory, which is used in solid-state drives (SSDs) and USB flash drives, and phase-change memory. The idea underpinning wear leveling is similar to changing position of car tires, avoiding repetitive load from being used on the same wheel.
