Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for accessing non-volatile cells. An interface module is configured to receive data for storage on a non-volatile memory medium. The non-volatile memory medium includes an array of cells, and each cell encodes a non-power-of-two number of states, or abodes per cell. A base conversion module is configured to convert the data from a binary representation to a representation in a non-binary base. The non-binary base uses a number of unique digits equal to the non-power-of-two number of abodes per cell. A write module is configured to store the converted data to the array of cells.

Abstract: A storage module is configured to determine a health metric of a storage division of a solid-state storage medium. The health metric may comprise a combination of factors, including, but not limited to: wear level, performance (e.g., program time, erase time, and the like), error rate, and the like. A wear level module may configure storage operations to reduce the wear rate of storage divisions having poor health metrics and/or heath metrics that are degrading more quickly than other storage divisions. Reducing wear rate may include deferring grooming operations, delaying use for storage operations, temporarily retiring the storage division, or the like. Storage divisions may be brought back into service at normal use rates in response determining that other portions of the storage media have been worn to the point that they exhibit similar health and/or reliability characteristics.
