Abstract

The present application discloses a memory, a storage system and an operation method, and belongs to the field of storage technology. In the present application, a first programming verification method is used to verify a first number of programming states during a first verification sub-operation, and a second programming verification method is used to verify a second number of programming states during a second verification sub-operation, and the first number and the second number are different, and the same programming state exists in the programming state required to be verified by the first verification sub-operation and the programming state required to be verified by the second verification sub-operation. In this way, when one of the programming verification methods verifies each programming state one by one, there will be a verification sub-operation in another programming verification method to verify multiple programming states at the same time, and the time used by the programming verification method is relatively short, so the present application combines the first programming verification method and the second programming verification method, which can shorten the overall programming verification time, thereby improving the overall programming speed.
