Abstract

Technologies are generally described that relate to differential writing for life extension of portions of non-volatile memory that have a likelihood of error that satisfies a defined condition. An example method may include determining that at least two components of a memory device satisfy a defined condition; writing to a first component of the at least two components with first data having a first representation. The method may also include writing to a second component of the at least two components with second data having a second representation different from the first representation, wherein the second data comprises at least a portion that is bit inverted relative to the first data.
