A memory array includes a plurality of first and second source, lines overlapping a plurality of bit lines, and a plurality of magnetic storage elements, each coupled to a corresponding first and second source line and to a corresponding bit line. Current may be driven, in first and second directions, through each magnetic element, for example, to program the elements. Diodes may be incorporated to avert sneak paths in the memory array. A first diode may be coupled between each magnetic element and the corresponding first source line, the first diode being biased to allow read and write current flow through the magnetic element, from the corresponding first source line; and a second diode may be coupled between each magnetic element and the corresponding second source line, the second diode being reverse-biased to block read and write current flow through the magnetic element, from the corresponding second source line.
