A multi-chip device and method for storing input data. The multi-chip device includes: a plurality of memory chips being adapted to store encoded input data, wherein each of the plurality of memory chips includes a detection unit that outputs detection information; an evaluation unit being adapted to perform an evaluation of the detection information from each of the plurality of memory chips, and to adapt the detection algorithm of any of the detection units depending on the performed evaluation; a combination unit being adapted to receive the detected bits and to combine the detected bits; and a decoding unit being adapted to output decoded data by decoding the combined detected bits. The present invention also provides a method and a computer program product for storing input data.
