1. A nonvolatile memory system for storing sector information in storage locations within nonvolatile memory organized into blocks, a plurality of blocks defining a super block and each block having a predetermined plurality of sectors comprising: controller for shifting sector information for a first sector of a first block of a particular super block, said controller further for shifting sector information for a first sector of a second block fo the particular super block and for writing sector information to the first sector of the first block of the particular super block, wherein shifting for the first sector of the second block occurs entirely during the writing to the first sector of the first block thereby decreasing the time required to perform write operations to blocks and increasing overall system performance.
