Apparatus, system, and method for determining a read voltage threshold for solid-state storage media
First Claim
1. A method to determine a direction to adjust a read voltage threshold for solid-state storage media, the method comprising:
- reading a data set from storage cells of solid-state storage media, the data set originally stored in the storage cells with a known bias;
determining that a read bias for the data set deviates from the known bias; and
determining a direction of deviation for the data set based on a difference between the read bias and the known bias.

Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for determining a read voltage threshold for solid-state storage media. A data set read module reads a data set from storage cells of solid-state storage media. The data set is originally stored in the storage cells with a known bias. A deviation module determines that a read bias for the data set deviates from the known bias. A direction module determines a direction of deviation for the data set. The direction of deviation is based on a difference between the read bias of the data set and the known bias. An adjustment module adjusts a read voltage threshold for the storage cells of the solid-state storage media based on the direction of deviation.
