Memory management systems and methods

The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of storage management features. In one embodiment, a memory device comprises a memory interface, an ECC generation component, and storage components. The memory interface is configured to receive an access request to an address at which data is stored. The memory interface can also forward responses to the request including the data and ECC information associated with the data. The ECC generation component is configured to automatically establish an address at which the ECC information is stored based upon the receipt of the access request to an address at which data is stored. In one exemplary implementation, the internal establishment of the address at which the ECC information is stored is automatic. The storage components are configured to store the information.
