Patent ID: 8270217

Claim:
A non-volatile storage system, comprising: non-volatile storage elements, said non-volatile storage elements include a set of non-volatile storage elements connected to a particular word line and group of non-volatile storage elements connected to a group of word lines different than said particular word line; and a managing circuit in communication with said non-volatile storage elements, said managing circuit programs said group of non-volatile storage elements using a group of target levels, said managing circuit programs said set of non-volatile storage elements using a first set of target levels for a first page of data and a different set of target levels for a second page of data, at least one of said first set of target levels is different than a corresponding target level of said group of target levels, at least one of said different set of target levels is different than a corresponding target level of said group of target levels, said different set of target levels is different than said first set of target levels.
