  • Patent number: 11714703
    Abstract: The subject technology provides for managing a data storage system. A data operation error for a data operation initiated in a first non-volatile memory die of a plurality of non-volatile memory die in the data storage system is detected. An error count for an error type of the data operation error for the first non-volatile memory die is incremented. The incremented error count satisfies a first threshold value for the error type of the data operation error is determined. The first non-volatile memory die is marked for exclusion from subsequent data operations.

  • Patent number: 11645217
    Abstract: The subject technology provides for managing a data storage system. Commands are identified into as a first command type or a second command type. The commands identified as the first command type are assigned to a first queue, and the commands identified as the second command type are assigned to a second queue. After the commands from the first queue and the commands from the second queue are processed based on a scheduling ratio over a predetermined period of time, a write amplification factor, number of host read commands, and number of host write commands during the predetermined period of time are determined. The scheduling ratio is updated based on the write amplification, the number of host read commands, the number of host write commands, and a predetermined scheduling ratio factor. Subsequent commands are processed from the first queue and the second queue based on the updated scheduling ratio.

  • Patent number: 10984882
    Abstract: The subject technology provides implementations, which may be included as part of firmware of the flash memory device, that will not solely rely on a flash controller interpreted status but includes additional checks to the returned flash status byte. Each flash read, write, and erase command requires a status read command to determine the state of operation. Depending on the particular command issued, each bit of the returned status has a different meaning. The flash memory device firmware can check whether an illogical or inconsistent status is present. For example, if an overall pass/fail bit indicates a “pass” but a plane pass/fail bit indicates a “fail” then there could be an erroneous detection. Also, for every operation, the firmware can read status twice when the flash memory is ready. If the second status byte fails to match the first status byte then a die may be flagged as failing.
