Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for error correction. A soft read module is configured to obtain soft read information for a cell of a non-volatile memory medium. The soft read information may indicate a likelihood that a data value for the cell is correct. A reliability module is configured to associate the cell with a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) mapping from a plurality of LLR mappings based on one or more reliability characteristics for a set of cells that includes the cell. An LLR map module is configured to determine an LLR value based on the soft read information by using the LLR mapping.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array with a plurality of memory elements. Each memory element is configured to store data. The device includes an input/output (I/O) buffer coupled to the memory array. The I/O buffer is configured to receive data from an I/O interface of a memory device controller and write the data to the memory array. The device includes a memory control manager coupled to the memory array. The memory control manager is configured to pause a program operation to the memory array in response to receiving a pause command. The memory control manager is also configured to resume the program operation in response to receiving a resume command.
