Abstract
A non-volatile storage system includes a plurality of non-volatile storage elements arranged in two dimensional or three dimensional structures. The system applies programming to the non-volatile storage elements and performs verification of the programming. The verification includes performing a multi-strobe sensing operation to test for multiple data states while applying a common word line voltage.
