Abstract

A method for memory management includes streaming bits to a memory buffer on a memory device using a write data channel that optimizes a speed of writing to the memory devices. The bits are written to non-volatile memory cells in the memory device at a first speed, using a bi-directional bus. Bits are read from the memory device over a read channel to provide reads at a second speed that is slower than the first speed, using the bi-directional bus.
