Paragraph Number

261

In one embodiment, a background scan of the solid-state storage media 110 may be an update event. For example, the characteristic update module 508, may perform a background scan of the solid-state storage media 110 and update records of storage media characteristics for sets of storage cells in response to scanning the sets of storage cells during the background scan. In another embodiment, an input/output request for the set of storage cells or for a neighboring set of storage cells, such as a read request, a write request, an erase request, or the like, is an update event and the characteristic update module 508 updates storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells in response to the input/output request. An update event for the characteristic update module 508, in a further embodiment, may include a startup operation and/or shutdown operation for the solid-state storage device 102. In certain embodiments, a garbage collection operation for a set of storage cells is an update event. For example, the characteristic update module 508 may update storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells as a garbage collection operation recovers storage capacity of the set of storage cells, or the like.
