Abstract:
A memory system includes a processing device (e.g., a controller implemented using a CPU, FPGA, and/or logic circuitry) and memory regions (e.g., in a flash memory or other non-volatile memory) storing data. The processing device receives an access request from a host system that is requesting to read the stored data. In one approach, the memory system is configured to: receive, from the host system over a bus, a read command to access data associated with an address in a non-volatile memory; in response to receiving the read command, access, by the processing device, multiple copies of data stored in at least one memory region of the non-volatile memory; match, by the processing device, data from the copies with each other; select, based on matching data from the copies with each other, first data from a first copy of the copies; and provide, to the host system over the bus, the first data as output data.
