    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a memory cell is provided with a plurality of available programming states to accommodate multi-level cell (MLC) programming. A control circuit stores a single bit logical value to the memory cell using single level cell (SLC) programming to provide a first read margin between first and second available programming states. The control circuit subsequently stores a single bit logical value to the memory cell using virtual multi-level cell (VMLC) programming to provide a larger, second read margin between the first available programming state and a third available programming state.

    Abstract: A magnetic element can have at least a write pole configured with a write pole tip that has a tip surface oriented at a first angle with respect to an air bearing surface (ABS), a first bevel surface extending from the ABS and oriented at a second angle with respect to the ABS, and a second bevel surface extending from the ABS and oriented at a third angle with respect to the ABS. The first, second, and third angles may be configured to be different and non-orthogonal to each other.
