Paragraph Number

195

For example, if a user application requests 512 bytes of data, and the solid-state storage media 110 can read 800 bytes of data in a read request at substantially the same speed as 512 bytes of data, in one embodiment, the data set read module 402 may read a data set of 800 bytes for adjusting a read voltage threshold, and provide the requested 512 bytes (a subset of the 800 byte data set) to the user application without affecting the read time of the operation. In one embodiment, the data set read module 402 sets a minimum data set request size and retrieves at least the minimum data set request size amount of data for each read request, even if the read request is for less than the minimum data set request size. The minimum data set request size, in certain embodiments, may be selected to fit within a boundary of one or more ECC chunks, one or more pages, one or more erase blocks, within excess bandwidth of the solid-state storage media 110, or the like. In one embodiment, the minimum data set request size may be selected based on an architecture or geometry of the solid-state storage media 110, the read data pipeline 108, or the like.
