Selectively de-straddling data pages in non-volatile memory

A computer program product for managing data in non-volatile memory, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being readable and/or executable by a controller to cause the controller to:

• detect, by the controller, at least one read of a logical page straddled across codewords;
• store, by the controller, an indication of a number of detected reads of the straddled logical page;
• and
• relocate, by the controller, the straddled logical page to a different physical location in response to the number of detected reads of the straddled logical page, wherein the logical page is written to the different physical location in a non-straddled manner.

A computer-implemented method for managing data to non-volatile memory, the method comprising:

• receiving data to store to one or more memory devices, each memory device comprising non-volatile memory configured to store data;
• determining whether a device occupancy is below a first threshold and/or a write amplification measure is below a second threshold;
• writing the data in a non-straddled fashion in response to determining that the device occupancy is below the first threshold and/or the write amplification measure is below the second threshold;
• and
• writing the data in a potentially-straddled fashion in response to determining that the device occupancy is not below the first threshold and/or the write amplification measure is not below the second threshold.
