Abstract

A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to store a plurality of codewords in the memory device. Each codeword of the plurality of codewords includes host data and parity data corresponding to the host data. Less than all of the plurality of codewords further includes statistics corresponding to the host data. Each statistic of the plurality of codewords is the same or different as another statistic of the plurality of codewords. The statistics are either incremental statistics, adaptive statistics, or both incremental statistics and adaptive statistics.

Claims (32)

1. A data storage device, comprising:

a memory device; and

a controller coupled to the memory device, the controller configured to:

store a plurality of codewords in the memory device, wherein each codeword of the plurality of codewords includes host data and parity data corresponding to the host data, and wherein less than all of the plurality of codewords further includes statistics corresponding to the host data.

2. The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein statistics are only stored in a first codeword of the plurality of codewords, and wherein the statistics are shared for all of the plurality of codewords.

3. The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein first statistics are stored in a first codeword and second statistics are stored in a second codeword, and wherein the second statistics is an updated version of the first statistics.

4. The data storage device of claim 3 , wherein a third codeword consists of host data and parity data.

5. The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein first statistics are stored in a first codeword and second statistics are stored in a second codeword, and wherein the second statistics consists of changes from the first statistics.

6. The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of codewords comprises a first codeword, a second codeword, and a third codeword, wherein the first codeword comprises first statistics, the second codeword does not include statistics, and the third codeword comprises second statistics, and wherein the second statistics is an updated version of the first statistics.

7. The data storage device of claim 6 , wherein the updated version consists of changes from the first statistics.

8. The data storage device of claim 6 , wherein the updated version consists of an aggregated statistics.

9. The data storage device of claim 1 , wherein the statistics are updated based on decoding key value (KV) data associated with the host data.

10. The data storage device of claim 9 , wherein the decoding is content aware decoding.

11. A data storage device, comprising:

a memory device; and

a controller coupled to the memory device, the controller configured to:

program a plurality of codewords to the memory device, wherein:

the plurality of codewords includes a first codeword, a second codeword, and a third codeword;

the first codeword includes first statistics, the second codeword includes second statistics, and the third codeword includes third statistics; and

the first statistics, the second statistics, and the third statistics are different.

12. The data storage device of claim 11 , wherein the second statistics consists of changes from the first statistics.

13. The data storage device of claim 12 , wherein the third statistics consists of changes from the second statistics.

14. The data storage device of claim 12 , wherein the third statistics is an updated version of the second statistics.

15. The data storage device of claim 11 , wherein the second statistics is an updated version of the first statistics.

16. The data storage device of claim 15 , wherein the third statistics is an updated version of the second statistics.

17. The data storage device of claim 15 , wherein the third statistics consists of changes from the second statistics.

18. A data storage device, comprising:

memory means; and

a controller coupled to the memory means, the controller configured to:

program a plurality of codewords to the memory means, wherein less than all codewords of the plurality of codewords contains statistics corresponding to all of the plurality of codewords.

19. The data storage device of claim 18 , wherein the statistics are either incremental statistics, adaptive statistics, or both incremental statistics and adaptive statistics.

20. The data storage device of claim 18 , wherein the statistics corresponds with decoded key value (KV) pairs.
