In another embodiment, the configuration parameter module 504 determines a configuration parameter for a set of storage cells based on a determined configuration parameter for a target set of storage cells, based on one or more storage media characteristics for a target set of storage cells, or the like. For example, the configuration parameter module 504 may use a configuration parameter for a target set of storage cells as a configuration parameter for another set of storage cells, may adjust a configuration parameter of a target set of storage cells for use in determining the configuration parameter for another set of storage cells, may use storage media characteristics for a target set of storage cells to determine a configuration parameter for another set of storage cells, or the like. In this manner, the target set of storage cells serves as a control group for use in managing other sets of storage cells. The target set of storage cells may be used in certain embodiments in a manner analogous to how “system tracks” have been used in hard disk drive technologies to make modifications to configuration parameters over the life of the storage device 102. In a further embodiment, the configuration parameter module 504 compares one or more storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells to one or more storage media characteristics for a target set of storage cells and determines a configuration parameter for the set of storage cells based on a difference between the storage media characteristics.
