1. A method to improve performance in a non-volatile solid-state storage device, the method comprising:

  • providing non-volatile solid-state storage media comprising a plurality of storage cells, the plurality of storage cells configured such that storage cells in an empty state store initial binary values that satisfy a bias;

    receiving source data for storage in the plurality of storage cells of the non-volatile solid-state storage media, bits of the source data having a source bias different from the bias of the plurality of storage cells;

    biasing the bits of the source data toward the bias of the plurality of storage cells; and

    writing the biased source data to the plurality of storage cells of the non-volatile solid-state storage media.
