Abstract: A page data (e.g., upper page data) received from a host is stored in a transfer buffer of a controller of a solid state drive. Another page data (e.g., lower page data) is read from a non-volatile memory (e.g., a NAND memory) to store in the transfer buffer as an error corrected page data. The error corrected page data and the page data are written to the non-volatile memory. In additional embodiments, a controller loads a page data (e.g., upper page data) received from the host in one or more NAND page buffers. The controller reads another page data (e.g., lower page data) from a NAND memory to store in a transfer buffer as an error corrected page data. The error corrected page data stored in the transfer buffer is loaded to the one or more NAND page buffers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to improve reliability and/or performance of partially written memory blocks in flash memory systems are described. In some embodiments, a storage device stores information corresponding to a partial write operation performed on a partially programmed memory block of a non-volatile memory. Memory controller logic then cause application of a reduced voltage level and/or an offset value to portion(s) of the non-volatile memory during a read or write operation to the non-volatile memory based at least in part on the stored information. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus may comprise a controller to retrieve data from a non-volatile memory, and an error correction module operable on the controller to read a memory cell of the non-volatile memory at a first set of sense conditions comprising a multiplicity of sense conditions. The error correction module may be further operable to set a first set of bits in an encoded output, the first set of bits comprising a logical state bit to indicate a logical state of the memory cell and one or more additional bits in the encoded output to indicate accuracy of the logical state bit based upon results of the read at the first set of sense conditions, the first set of sense conditions comprising a greater number than that of the first set of bits. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
