    Abstract: A number of complimentary techniques for the read scrub process using adaptive counter management are presented. In one set of techniques, in addition to maintaining a cumulative read counter for a block, a boundary word line counter can also be maintained to track the number of reads to most recently written word line or word lines of a partially written block. Another set of techniques used read count threshold values that vary with the number of program/erase cycles that a block has undergone. Further techniques involve setting the read count threshold for a closed (fully written) block based upon the number reads it experienced prior to being closed. These techniques can also be applied at a sub-block, zone level.

    Abstract: A method performed in a data storage device including a non-volatile memory includes reading a representation of data, the representation corresponding to one or more selected states of storage elements of a group of storage elements of the non-volatile memory. The method includes, in response to a count of errors in the representation of the data exceeding a threshold, scheduling a remedial action to be performed on the group of storage elements.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for determining when to save values of read counters are disclosed. Read counters store values that indicate the number of reads in respective blocks of a memory device. The values of the read counters may be stored in volatile memory, and may be periodically stored to non-volatile memory. The frequency at which the values of the read counters are stored to non-volatile memory may be dependent on the read disturb effect. One measure of the read disturb effect may be based on the characteristics of the respective blocks of the memory device, such as whether the respective block is open/closed, has on-chip copy, and whether the read is to a boundary wordline.

    Abstract: During a programming data transfer process in a non-volatile storage system, recording units of data are transferred from a host to a memory device, such as a memory card. For each recording unit, pages of data are arranged in an order such that a page which takes longer to write to a memory array of the memory device is provided before a page which takes less time to write. Overall programming time for the recording unit is reduced since a greater degree of parallel processing occurs. While the page which takes longer to program is being programmed to the memory array, the page which takes less time to program is being transferred to the memory device. After programming is completed, the memory device signals the host to transfer a next recording unit. The pages of data may include lower, middle and upper pages.
