A system and method are disclosed in which a first non-volatile memory includes blocks that store data, and a second memory that stores error correction information related to the blocks storing the data. The first memory and the second memory are of different types.

Secondary memory to store error correction information

A method and system are disclosed in which a first non-volatile memory includes blocks that store data, and a second memory that stores overhead information related to the blocks storing the data. The amount of the second memory storing the overhead information related to the at least one block of the plurality of blocks is varied.

Secondary memory to store a varying amount of overhead information

Embodiments for providing improved reliability or extended life for a non-volatile memory component may comprise a secondary non-volatile memory component to store error correction information, for example.
