Abstract
Solid-state mass storage devices, host computer systems, and methods of managing non-volatile solid-state memory components used therein. The memory components comprise memory cells organized in functional units that are adapted to receive units of data transferred from the host computer system and correspond to the functional units of the memory component. The level of programming for each cell is reduced by performing an analysis of the bit values of the units of data to be written to at least a first of the functional units of the memory component. Depending on the analysis of '0' and '1' bit values of the units of data to be written, the bit values are inverted before writing the units of data to the first memory component.
