Abstract

Methods and apparatus to improve reliability and/or performance of partially written memory blocks in flash memory systems are described. In some embodiments, a storage device stores information corresponding to a partial write operation performed on a partially programmed memory block of a non-volatile memory. Memory controller logic then cause application of a reduced voltage level and/or an offset value to portion(s) of the non-volatile memory during a read or write operation to the non-volatile memory based at least in part on the stored information. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
