Abstract
Flash memory devices and associated methods are described for controlling data errors in the devices through various forms of decoding, error correction, and wear concentration. To this end, a flash memory device may be partitioned into a plurality of sectors. Data may then be received from, for example, a host processor for storage within the flash memory device. Storage durations of the data are then estimated and the data is stored in the data sectors based on those estimated storage durations.
