Abstract: Technology is described herein for reclaiming a memory device that has a defective plane. A solution allows a memory device with a defective plane to operate as a single plane device. The memory device with the defective plane may be used without any changes to the memory controller. Thus, the memory controller can send single plane commands to the memory device with the defective plane by using single plane addressing. The memory device may have logic that properly translates the single plane command so that it is compliant with the memory mapping of the multi-plane memory device with the defective plane. Thus, the command will access the correct block in the correct plane.

Abstract: A system and methods for programming non-volatile memory elements by using latches to transfer data. Upon discovering errors in previously programmed non-volatile memory elements, the system recovers the corresponding data from the latches and programming the recovered data to other non-volatile memory elements.
