By biasing data packets toward the bias of the storage cells, the bias module 318 increases performance and endurance of the solid-state storage media 110 and the solid-state storage device 102. For example, biasing packets to more closely match the bias of the storage cells decreases write times and erase times because fewer actual storage cells must be changed to execute the operation. It also increases the writable life of the storage cells because fewer operations that are executed on a storage cell mean that the storage cell will last longer before wear begins to affect the storage cell performance/reliability. In certain embodiments, biasing data packets may decrease power consumption or have other additional benefits. Because, in one embodiment, the storage cells store initial binary values that satisfy a bias just prior to being programmed or written to, the closer that the data packets match the bias of the storage cells, the fewer the number of storage cells that are changed to store the data packets, and the more storage cells that remain in a biased state.
