1. A byte-oriented method of utilizing flash memory, the byte-oriented method comprising:

  • writing a new byte of data corresponding to a first logical address to a current physical block in the flash memory identified by location data stored to a write pointer;

    storing the location data stored by the write pointer to a previous physical block written with data bytes corresponding to the first logical address, wherein storing the location data stored by the write pointer to the previous physical block results in the current physical block being added to a linked list of physical blocks written with data bytes corresponding to the first logical address; and

    incrementing the location data stored to the write pointer to identify an unwritten physical block immediately following the current physical block.
