1. A method for managing data stored in a page within a memory element of a memory system that includes a controller, the page comprising encoded data including a binary code being formed by a word and an associated redundancy code, the method comprising:
storing, by the controller, user data in said page,
said storing step including performing error correction code calculations on the user data to provide the associated redundancy code, which corresponds to an erased redundancy code (RC_E) for said user data, in response to determining that the user data has a reference binary code of an erased word (W_E) and the erased redundancy code (RC_E) has a binary value equal to that of the reference binary code.
