A write method for a resistive memory including a storage array, a control circuit and an access circuit is provided. The control circuit receives an external command to activate the access circuit to access the storage array. The write method includes determining whether the external command is ready to perform a write operation for the storage array; generating a first operation voltage group to the access circuit when the external command does not perform the write operation for the storage array; reading a count value of a block that corresponds to a write address when the external command performs the write operation for the storage array, wherein the count value indicates the number of times that the block corresponding to the write address performs the write operation; and generating a second operation voltage group to the access circuit according to the count value of the block.

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a write-to-write delay with respect to a memory cell, wherein one or more neighboring cells are adjacent to the memory cell and controls a write disturb refresh rate of the one or more neighboring cells based on the write-to-write delay. In one example, the technology increments a write counter corresponding to the memory cell by a first value if the write-to-write delay exceeds a delay threshold and increments the write counter by a second value if the write-to-write delay does not exceed the delay threshold, wherein the second value is greater than the first value, and wherein the write disturb refresh rate is controlled based on the write counter.

A technique for managing SSDs in a data storage system generates an endurance value for each of multiple SSDs and arranges the SSDs in RAID groups based at least in part on the generated endurance values. As a result of such arranging, some RAID groups may include only SSDs with higher endurance values while other RAID groups may include only SSDs with lower endurance values. The data storage system may then run RAID groups with higher endurance values at higher speeds and may run RAID groups with lower endurance values at lower speeds.

Electronic systems might include a plurality of groups of memory cells and a controller for access of the plurality of groups of memory cells that is configured to cause the electronic system to determine whether a reliability of a particular group of memory cells having a particular reliability rank allocated for storing data of a particular data level at a particular memory density is less than a target reliability, and, if so, determine whether the reliability of the particular group of memory cells at a reduced memory density is less than the target reliability, and, in response to determining that the reliability of the particular group of memory cells at the reduced density is less than the target reliability, allocate the particular group of memory cells for storing data of a lower data level and allocate a different group of memory cells for storing data of the particular data level.

A method for outlier management at a flash controller includes testing a flash memory device to identify one or more outlier blocks of the flash memory device. Hyperparameters for a DNN are loaded into a training circuit of the flash controller. Test reads of the one or more outlier blocks are performed and a number of errors in the test reads is identified. The DNN is trained using a mini-batch training process and using the identified number of errors in the test reads and is tested to determine whether the trained DNN meets a training error threshold. The performing, the identifying, the training and the testing are repeated until the trained DNN meets the training error threshold to identify parameters of an outlier-block DNN. A neural network operation is performed using the identified parameters to predict a set of TVSO values. A read is performed using the set of predicted TVSO values.
