Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for providing a preliminary ready indication for non-volatile memory. A non-volatile memory element initiates a write operation for one or more storage cells of the non-volatile memory element. The non-volatile memory element determines whether a progress threshold is satisfied for the write operation. The non-volatile memory element provides a preliminary ready indication, indicating that the progress threshold is satisfied.
