Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with accessing memory are described. In one embodiment, a method detects that a power quality associated with a volatile memory in a computing device meets a threshold value and in response thereto, reprogramming data from the volatile memory to a flash memory comprising multi-level cells. The reprogramming comprises: copying the data from the volatile memory, and writing the copied data: (1) to the most significant bits of the multi-level cells in the flash memory while skipping the least significant bits of the multi-level cells, or (2) to the least significant bits of the multi-level cells while skipping the most significant bits.
