A method for writing data to a memory array includes receiving a write request including data from a processor, compressing the data, assigning a page strength to the compressed data, the page strength defined by a compression ratio used to compress the data, generating a parity data block associated with the compressed data, and saving the compressed data and the parity data block in a page of the memory array, the page of the memory array having a page strength corresponding to the assigned page strength of the compressed data.
