Abstract
A non-volatile storage system stores data by programming the data as binary data into blocks that have not yet been programmed with multi-state data and have not yet been programmed with binary data X times. The system transfers data from multiple blocks (source blocks) of binary data to one block (target block) of multi-state data using a multi-state programming process, where the target block has been previously programmed with binary data X times (or less than X times).
