Paragraph Number

103

In one embodiment, the write data pipeline 106 also includes a bias module 318 that receives the one or more packets from the packetizer 302, either directly or indirectly. The bias module 318 biases the bits of the data packets toward a bias of storage cells of the solid-state storage media 110. As used herein, a “bias” is a preference, probability, tendency, or desirability of values for bits within a set of bits to exhibit a specific data pattern. A bias may be a natural property, a designed attribute, a property of performing an operation on storage media, or a random occurrence. Data itself may have a bias and data storage media may have a bias. A bias may be toward binary ones, toward binary zeroes, toward a balance of binary ones and zeroes, toward a certain binary value for certain bits, or the like.
