Paragraph Number

84

Access data, as used herein, comprises metadata, settings, and/or thresholds which the non-volatile memory controller 124, the non-volatile memory media controller 126, a device driver such as the SML 130, or the like may use to access (e.g., read, write, program, and/or erase) a region of the non-volatile memory media 122. Access data may include one or more media parameters or storage thresholds as described below (e.g., read voltage thresholds, a bias for multiple read voltage thresholds, a resistivity threshold, a programming threshold, an erase threshold, a hardware driver level threshold, a storage controller level threshold, or the like), a program/erase cycle count for the region of non-volatile memory media 122, an age of the non-volatile memory media 122 (e.g., time since first powered on, amount of time powered on, or the like), a table with multiple media parameters or storage thresholds, a logical-to-physical mapping for data of a region of non-volatile memory media 122, validity metadata or a validity bitmap for data of a region of non-volatile memory media 122, or other information associated with accessing data of a region of non-volatile memory media 122.
