  • Storage system and dual-write programming method with reverse order for secondary block
    Patent number: 11442666
    Abstract: A storage system has a memory with primary and secondary blocks. Data is stored redundantly in the primary and secondary memory blocks but in a different programming order. For example, data is programmed in the first memory block starting at a first wordline and ending at a last wordline, while data is programmed in the second memory block starting at the last wordline and ending at the first wordline.
    Type: Grant

  • Storage system and method for smart folding
    Patent number: 11036407
    Abstract: A storage system and method for smart folding are provided. In one example, the storage system has a memory with a plurality of single level cell (SLC) blocks and a multi-level cell (MLC) block. The MLC block has a plurality of pages, each with a different sense time. The storage system tracks a read count of each of the plurality of SLC blocks and determines how to fold the plurality of SLC blocks into the plurality of pages based on the read count of each of the plurality of SLC blocks and the sense time of each of the plurality of pages. In this way, SLC blocks with higher read counts can be folded into pages that have faster sense times.
