    摘要: A solid-state mass storage device and method of operating the storage device to anticipate the failure of at least one memory device thereof before a write endurance limitation is reached. The method includes assigning at least a first memory block of the memory device as a wear indicator that is excluded from use as data storage, using pages of at least a set of memory blocks of the memory device for data storage, writing data to and erasing data from each memory block of the set in program/erase (P/E) cycles, performing wear leveling on the set of memory blocks, subjecting the wear indicator to more P/E cycles than the set of memory blocks, performing integrity checks of the wear indicator and monitoring its bit error rate, and taking corrective action if the bit error rate increases.

    摘要: Memory technology adapted to store data in a binary format. Such technology includes a semiconductor memory device having memory cells, each having a substrate and at least three graphene layers that are oriented to define a graphene stack disposed in a plane. The graphene stack of each memory cell is connected to a bit line and to a ground connection so that a conductive path is defined in the plane of the graphene stack. The in-plane conductivity of the graphene stack of each memory cell is altered during programming of the memory cell to define a binary value of bits stored in the memory cell

    摘要: A solid-state mass storage device for use with host computer systems, and methods of increasing the endurance of non-volatile memory components thereof that define a first non-volatile memory space. The mass storage device further has a second non-volatile memory space containing at least one non-volatile memory component having a higher write endurance than the memory components of the first non-volatile memory space. The second non-volatile memory space functions as a low-pass filter for host writes to the first non-volatile memory space to minimize read accesses to the first non-volatile memory space. Contents of the second non-volatile memory space are managed using a change counter.
