View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	While the configuration parameters 804 in the depicted embodiment are illustrated as read voltage threshold adjustments, as described above, in other embodiments, configuration parameters 804 may include resistivity thresholds, write or program thresholds, erase thresholds, and/or other modifiable parameters of the solid-state storage media 110. As described above, a configuration parameter 804 may include an absolute data value, an offset or adjustment to a data value, or another parameter. The configuration update module 510 may cooperate with the configuration parameter module 504 to update the configuration parameter repository 802 as described above.	303	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM

View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	FIG. 9 depicts one embodiment of a method 900 for improving the utility of solid-state storage media 110. The method 900 begins and the media characteristic module 502 references 902 one or more storage media characteristics for a set of storage cells of the solid-state storage media 110. The configuration parameter module 504 determines 904 a configuration parameter for the set of storage cells based on the one or more references 902 storage media characteristics. The storage cell configuration module 506 configures 906 the set of storage cells to use the determined 904 configuration parameter and the method 900 ends.	305	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	FIG. 10 depicts another embodiment of a method 1000 for improving the utility of solid-state storage media 110. The method 1000 begins and the characteristic update module 508 determines 1002 whether or not an update event has occurred for a set of storage cells of the solid-state storage media 110. If the characteristic update module 508 determines 1002 that an update event has occurred, the characteristic update module 508 updates 1004 one or more storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells, in a storage media characteristic repository 702 or the like. If the characteristic update module 508 determines 1002 that an update event has not occurred, the characteristic update module 508 does not update 1004 the one or more storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells.	306	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	The configuration update module 510 determines 1006 whether or not there is a change in one or more storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells, from the characteristic update module 508 updating 1004 the one or more storage media characteristics or the like. If the configuration update module 510 determines 1006 that there is a change in the one or more storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells, the media characteristic module 502 references 1008 the one or more storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells and the configuration parameter module 504 and/or the configuration update module 510 determines/updates 1010 a configuration parameter for the set of storage cells. If the configuration update module 510 determines 1006 that there is no change in the one or more storage media characteristics for the set of storage cells, the method 1000 skips the referencing 1008 step and the determining/updating step 1010.	307	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM
View Edit Delete	US-8380915-A1	The storage cell configuration module 506 determines 1012 whether or not a configuration trigger has occurred for the set of storage cells. If the storage cell configuration module 506 determines 1012 that a configuration trigger has occurred, the storage cell configuration module 506 configures 1014 the set of storage cells to use the determined/updated 1010 configuration parameter and the method 1000 repeats. If the storage cell configuration module 506 determines 1012 that no configuration trigger has occurred, the method 1000 repeats.	308	Added by DJM 3 2021	3/12/21, 12:00 AM
