Abstract:
Non-volatile memory block management. A method according to one embodiment includes calculating an error count margin threshold for each of the at least some non-volatile memory blocks of a plurality of non-volatile memory blocks. A determination is made as to whether the error count margin threshold of any of the at least some of the non-volatile memory blocks has been exceeded. A memory block management function is triggered upon determining that the error count margin threshold of any of the at least some of the non-volatile memory blocks has been exceeded.
