    Abstract: A method, in a memory including multiple analog memory cells, includes segmenting a group of the memory cells into a common section and at least first and second dedicated sections. Each dedicated section corresponds to a read threshold that is used for reading a data page to be stored in the group. Data to be stored in the group is jointly balanced over a union of the common section and the first dedicated section, and over the union of the common section and the second dedicated section, to create a balanced page such that for each respective read threshold an equal number of memory cells will be programmed to assume programming levels that are separated by the read threshold. The balanced page is stored to the common and dedicated sections, and the read thresholds are adjusted based on detecting imbalance between data values in readout results of the balanced page.

    Abstract: A data storage method includes identifying, in a set of data items associated with respective logical addresses for storage in a memory, a first subset of the logical addresses associated with the data items containing application data, and a second subset of the logical addresses associated with the data items containing parity information that has been calculated over the application data. The data items associated with the first identified subset are stored in one or more first physical memory areas of the memory, and the data items associated with the second identified subset are stored in one or more second physical memory areas of the memory, different from the first physical memory areas. A memory management task is performed independently in the first physical memory areas and in the second physical memory areas.
