Abstract

Methods, systems, and machine-readable storage medium for programming a storage device are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include: performing a verify operation on a plurality of storage elements of the storage device to determine whether the plurality of storage elements have been programmed to a first program state; determining a first number of failing bits corresponding to the first program state based on the verify operation; comparing the first number of failing bits with a first threshold of failing bits corresponding to the first program state; and determining a second threshold of failing bits based at least in part on the first number of failing bits and the comparison, wherein the second threshold of failing bits corresponds to a second program state.
