Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for managing configuration parameters for non-volatile data storage. A control module is configured to limit erase dwell times for blocks of a non-volatile memory medium to satisfy a threshold. A block classification module is configured to group blocks of a non-volatile memory medium based on retention times for the blocks. A block access module is configured to access at least one group of blocks using a read voltage threshold selected based on a grouping.
