Abstract: Mechanisms for reducing the impact of drive parameter writes on solid state drive (SSD) performance are provided, the methods including: saving one or more SSD drive parameters of an SSD to volatile memory of the SSD using an SSD controller; detecting a power-loss condition in the SSD; and copying the one or more SSD drive parameters from the volatile memory of the SSD to non-volatile memory of the SSD. In some embodiments, the SSD is a NAND SSD. In some embodiments, the one or more SSD drive parameters include one or more of: a drive health parameter, a drive internal statistic, drive thermal information, drive debug information, a number of host and non-volatile memory read and writes, media error handling data, temperature and throttle information, and firmware download information. In some embodiments, the volatile memory is one or more of: random-access memory and dynamic random-access memory.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a plurality of memory cells; a plurality of sense circuits, a sense circuit comprising a sense node selectively coupled to a bitline coupled to a first cell of the plurality of memory cells; and a controller to transpose a value indicative of a voltage of the first cell to the sense node; isolate the sense node from the bitline; and calibrate a parameter for the sense circuit based on outputs of the sense circuit for each of a plurality of different applied values of the parameter.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to improve flash memory system endurance using temperature based flash memory settings are described. In one embodiment, memory controller logic applies one of a first trim profile or a second trim profile to a flash memory storage device based at least partially on a comparison of a threshold temperature value and a sensed temperature of the flash memory storage device. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A flash memory device may include two or more flash memory cells organized as a NAND string in a block of flash memory cells, and flash cells, coupled to the NAND string at opposite ends, to function as select gates. The flash memory device may be capable of providing information related to a voltage threshold of the select gates to a flash controller, erasing the flash cells that function as select gates in response to a select gate erase command, and programming the flash cells that function as select gates in response to a select gate program command.
