Abstract:
A next read threshold is determined by determining a first number of solid state storage cells having a stored voltage which falls into a first voltage range and determining a second number of solid state storage cells having a stored voltage which falls into a second voltage range. A gradient is determine by taking a difference between the first number of solid state storage cells and the second number of solid state storage cells. The next read threshold is determined based at least in part on the gradient.
Abstract:
A first bit position of a cell in solid state storage is read where a sorting bit is obtained using the read of the first bit position. A second bit position of the cell is read for a first time, including by setting a first read threshold associated with the second bit position to a first value and setting a second read threshold associated with the second bit position to a second value. The second bit position of the cell is read for a second time, including by setting the first read threshold to a third value and setting the second read threshold to a fourth value. A new value for the first read threshold and for the second read threshold is generated using the sorting bit, the first read, and the second read.

Abstract:
A plurality of write data is received and combined to obtain backup write data. The plurality of write data is stored in storage. On a storage controller, the plurality of write data is released without waiting for a confirmation associated with writing the plurality of write data to the storage. The backup write data is stored.
