Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving data to be written to a NAND array in a controller;
- and
- writing the data to the NAND array, the NAND array comprising both type A NAND cells and type B NAND cells, wherein the type A NAND cells and the type B NAND cells have at least one structural difference.
A method comprising:
- receiving data to be written to a NAND cell in a controller, the data being designated as type A data or type B data;
- and
- writing the data to NAND array, the NAND array comprising both type A NAND cells and type B NAND cells, wherein the data is written to a type A NAND cell if it has been designated type A data or to a type B NAND cell if it has been designated type B data, wherein the type A NAND cells and the type B NAND cells have at least one structural difference.
A system comprising:
- non-volatile array, the non-volatile array comprising both type A NAND cells and type B NAND cells,
- wherein the type A NAND cells and the type B NAND cells have at least one structural difference;
- at least one controller configured to store and access data in the type A and type B cells of the array;
- and
- at least one host configured to communicate data to the at least one controller.
