VARIABLE WIDTH COLUMN READ OPERATIONS IN 3D STORAGE DEVICES WITH PROGRAMMABLE ERROR CORRECTION CODE STRENGTH

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that organizes data and corresponding parity information into a plurality of die words, distributes a column of the die words across a plurality of storage dies, and distributes the column across a plurality of partitions. In one example, the technology also reads a row of the die words at a read rate and reads the column of the die words at the read rate.
