  • Granular Voltage Tuning
    Publication number: 20210255927
    Abstract: A system and related method operate solid-states storage memory. The system performs a first tuning process that has a first set of tuning options, on a first portion of solid-states storage memory. The system identifies one or more second portions of solid-states storage memory, within the first portion of solid-states storage memory that fail readability after the first tuning process. The system performs a second tuning process that has a differing second set of tuning options, on each of the one or more second portions of solid-states storage memory.
