System and apparatus for redundant array of independent disks striping against programming failures

Abstract

A memory system includes a memory device configured to store memory data. The memory device includes an array of memory cells, and a plurality of word lines arranged in a plurality of rows and coupled to the array of memory cells. The memory system also includes a memory controller coupled to the array of memory cells. The memory controller is configured to receive the memory data and first parity data of the memory data, perform a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) encode operation on the memory data and the first parity data to form second parity data, and perform a write operation to store the memory data, the first parity data, and the second parity data into the array of memory cells.
