View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	For certain types of multi-level storage cells, the middle read voltage threshold 662b and the adjacent L1 and L2 states may be more sensitive to read disturb or other factors that can cause read voltages to drift. Further, as described above, in certain embodiments, the LSB and the MSB of a single multi-level storage cell may represent data stored in different physical pages. Using a single bit from each of a plurality of multi-level storage cell as a data set, in one embodiment, may reduce a number of read operations to retrieve the data set. In other embodiments, use of a single bit from each of a plurality of multi-level storage cells in the lower page simplifies a process of detecting deviation and direction of a read bias from a known bias for multi-level storage cells.	287	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	The configuration parameter module 504, in certain embodiments, bases a configuration parameter for a set of storage cells on a target set of storage cells to bootstrap the configuration parameter in response to a lack of known storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells. The configuration parameter module 504 may bootstrap a configuration parameter for a set of storage cells during a startup operation or another operation where storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells may not yet be available, but storage media characteristics or other data may be available for a target set of storage cells. For example, metadata stored in a metadata region of the solid-state storage media 110 may have a known or controlled program/erase count and the configuration parameter module 504 may base a configuration parameter for a region of the solid-state storage media 110 storing user data on the known or controlled program/erase count for the metadata region.	255	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM

For example, the characteristic update module 508, may perform a background scan of the solid-state storage media 110 and update records of storage media characteristics for sets of storage cells in response to scanning the sets of storage cells during the background scan. In another embodiment, an input/output request for the set of storage cells or for a neighboring set of storage cells, such as a read request, a write request, an erase request, or the like, is an update event and the characteristic update module 508 updates storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells in response to the input/output request. An update event for the characteristic update module 508, in a further embodiment, may include a startup operation and/or shutdown operation for the solid-state storage device 102. In certain embodiments, a garbage collection operation for a set of storage cells is an update event. For example, the characteristic update module 508 may update storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells as a garbage collection operation recovers storage capacity of the set of storage cells, or the like.	261	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	In one embodiment, the characteristic update module 508 updates one or more storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells in response to an update event for the set of storage cells.
