摘要： A storage module is configured to store data segments, such as error-correcting code (ECC) codewords, within an array comprising two or more solid-state storage elements. The data segments may be arranged in a horizontal arrangement, a vertical arrangement, a hybrid channel arrangement, and/or vertical stripe arrangement within the array. The data arrangement may determine input/output performance characteristics. An optimal adaptive data storage configuration may be based on read and/or write patterns of storage clients, read time, stream time, and so on. Data of failed storage elements may be reconstructed by use of parity data and/or other ECC codewords stored within the array.

摘要： Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for error correcting code (ECC) decoding. A score module is configured to assign a score to a variable node of low density parity check (LDPC) code decoder. The LDPC code decoder may include a plurality of variable nodes associated with a plurality of check nodes. The plurality of variable nodes may correspond to bits of a received code word. The score for the variable node may be based on a count of unsatisfied check nodes associated with the variable node. A variable node update module is configured to update the variable node based on the score. A check node update module is configured to update one or more of the check nodes based on the updated variable node.

摘要： A storage controller may be configured to assess the reliability of a solid-state storage medium. The storage controller may be further configured to project, forecast, and/or estimate storage reliability at a future time. The projection may be based on a currently reliability metric of the storage and a reliability model. The portions or sections of the solid-state storage media may be retired in response the projected reliability metric failing to satisfy a reliability threshold. The reliability threshold may be based on data correction and/or reconstruction characteristics. The projected reliability metrics of a plurality of erase blocks of a storage division may be combined, and one or more of the erase blocks may be retired in response to determining that the combined reliability metric projection fails to satisfy the reliability threshold.

摘要： A storage module is configured to determine a health metric of a storage division of a solid-state storage medium. The health metric may comprise a combination of factors, including, but not limited to: wear level, performance (e.g., program time, erase time, and the like), error rate, and the like. A wear level module may configure storage operations to reduce the wear rate of storage divisions having poor health metrics and/or heath metrics that are degrading more quickly than other storage divisions. Reducing wear rate may include deferring grooming operations, delaying use for storage operations, temporarily retiring the storage division, or the like. Storage divisions may be brought back into service at normal use rates in response determining that other portions of the storage media have been worn to the point that they exhibit similar health and/or reliability characteristics.

摘要： Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for managing non-volatile a medium. A method includes determining whether a first error correcting code (ECC) code word of a non-volatile storage device is correctable using a first error correcting code. A method includes determining whether a second ECC code word is correctable using a second error correcting code in response to determining that a first ECC code word is uncorrectable using a first error correcting code. A method includes adjusting one or more media parameters for accessing a non-volatile medium of a non-volatile storage device based on error information. Error information may include information from a decoder for a second error correcting code. Adjusting one or more media parameters may be in response to determining that a second ECC code word is correctable using a second error correcting code.
