Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards techniques and configurations for a memory apparatus configured with an erase command comprising a sequence of segments. In one embodiment, the memory apparatus is configured to generate an erase command in response to a request provided by a host to erase at least a portion of data stored in a memory device. The erase command comprises a sequence of erase segments that provide an erase voltage for erasing the portion of data stored in the memory apparatus. The memory apparatus is configured to grant access to the memory apparatus for servicing the memory access requests initiated by the host, during a time period between at least two adjacent erase segments in the sequence. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
