The configuration module 352, in one embodiment, determines that a read bias for the data set or packet deviates from the known bias, and determines a direction of deviation for the data set based on a difference between the read bias and the known bias. In a further embodiment, the configuration module 352 adjusts the read voltage threshold, or another read threshold such as a resistivity threshold, for storage cells corresponding to the data set based on the direction of deviation. For example, in one embodiment, the configuration module 352 may lower the read voltage threshold from the previous read voltage threshold to a new read voltage threshold for the storage cells if the data set has more binary zeroes than expected based on the known bias. For MLC storage cells, in one embodiment, a data set may include data from different addresses, different pages, or the like so that the data set includes all data that the associated storage cells store. The configuration module 352 may base a read voltage threshold adjustment on known characteristics of the storage cells, such as an encoding type used for the storage cells, based on a physical and/or electrical architecture of the storage cells, or the like. In a further embodiment, the configuration module 352 may transform, translate, or combine data from different addresses or pages to facilitate a determination of a known bias, a read bias, and/or a deviation from a known bias for MLC storage cells. In another embodiment, for MLC storage cells, the configuration module 352 may adjust a read voltage threshold for the MLC storage cells based on a subset of the data stored by the MLC storage cells.
