Zusammenfassung:Efficient and convenient storage systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a fractured erase process is performed in which a pre-program process, erase process and soft program process are initiated independently. Memory cells can be pre-programmed and conditioned independent of an erase command. The initiation of the independent pre-programming is partitioned from an erase command which is partitioned from initiation of a soft-programming command. A cell is erased wherein the erasing includes erase operations that are partitioned from the pre-preprogramming process. In one embodiment, the independent pre-program process is run in the background.
