Non-volatile memory devices have improved data storage reliability resulting from mirror-image programming techniques that operate to reduce coupling noise between adjacent memory cells within a memory array. The adjacent memory cells include a first pair of memory cells and a second pair of memory cells. A program control circuit is provided to support mirror-image programming of the first and second pairs of memory cells when the two pairs of memory cells are storing the same 3-bit data.
