Abstract
A data storage device includes an error correction code (ECC) ordering system that determines a decoding schedule in which two or more flash memory units (FMUs) that have failed an initial decoding process are to be decoded using a joint decoding scheme. The ECC ordering system generates the decoding schedule based on a metric associated with each FMU. The metric on which the decoding schedule is based is a syndrome weight associated with each FMU or is a combined bit error rate (BER) associated with each FMU. When the decoding schedule has been generated, the ECC ordering system causes a joint decoding operation to be executed on the FMUs in the order specified by the decoding schedule.
