Content
For example, in one embodiment, end sections of data files may be padded with binary zeroes, causing the data packets that store the end sections to exhibit a bias toward binary zeroes, meaning that the data packets have more binary zeroes than binary ones. Other data packets may have more binary ones than zeroes, or a balance of binary ones and zeroes. While data packets may each have an individual bias based on data within the packets, a bias of the storage cells of the solid-state storage media 110 may be based on some benefit associated with the storage of a particular binary value or pattern, or some property of the storage cells. One example of a storage cell property, NAND flash storage cells presently are biased to all binary one values or almost all binary one values when provided by a manufacturer. In addition, performing an erase operation on the NAND flash storage cells sets the binary values in each storage cell to a binary one, such that programming of the storage cells comprises changing certain storage cells to a binary zero value. This bias to all binary one values or almost all binary one values when provided by a manufacturer or when erased represents one example of an empty state for storage cells of a non-volatile solid-state storage media.
