Abstract: A set of superblocks can be constructed by a memory controller employing good blocks and partially bad blocks in a plurality of memory access units. Each functional memory access unit among the plurality of memory access units contributes a single block that is a good block or a partially bad block to each superblock. The memory controller can further construct a set of super word line zones within each superblock in the set of superblocks. Each block within a superblock contributes a good word line zone to each super word line zone. Upon encounter of a program error at run time, the super word line zones within the superblock may be modified to continue running the program employing modified super word line zones for the superblock.

Abstract: A device adapted to capture vehicle data or surveillance data that includes a disk and a Non-Volatile Solid-State Memory (NVSM). The vehicle or surveillance data is received in a buffer of the device for storage on the disk, and an input is received indicating a level of mechanical shock. It is determined whether the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds a first threshold indicative of an impact. If the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds the first threshold, the vehicle or surveillance data is stored in the NVSM from the buffer and a status is determined for storing data on the disk.
