Abstract
A system and method which provides a non-volatile memory management system with the ability to monitor the health of a corresponding non-volatile memory and to safeguard data stored within the non-volatile memory when data integrity is at risk. The monitoring and safeguarding is provided via a crisis reliability mode module which monitors the health of a corresponding non-volatile memory and to enters a crisis reliability mode of operation when data integrity within the non-volatile memory is at risk.
