Abstract

A first bit position of a cell in solid state storage is read where a sorting bit is obtained using the read of the first bit position. A second bit position of the cell is read for a first time, including by setting a first read threshold associated with the second bit position to a first value and setting a second read threshold associated with the second bit position to a second value. The second bit position of the cell is read for a second time, including by setting the first read threshold to a third value and setting the second read threshold to a fourth value. A new value for the first read threshold and for the second read threshold is generated using the sorting bit, the first read, and the second read.
