Abstract
A data storage device includes a solid-state non-volatile memory including a plurality of memory cells and a controller. The controller is configured to reduce a read disturb effect of at least a portion of the solid-state non-volatile memory at least in part by receiving or accessing data to be written to the solid-state non-volatile memory, encoding the data using a programming pattern that favors a first programming state over a second programming state, the first programming state being associated with a higher voltage level than the second programming state, and writing the encoded data to the solid-state non-volatile memory.
