Abstract
Techniques for preventing read disturb in NAND memory devices are described. In one example, reads are tracked for sub-groups. When the number of reads to a sub-group meets a threshold, the data at the wordline on which the threshold was met is moved along with the data at neighboring wordlines to an SLC block without moving the entire block. The performance impact and write amplification impact of read disturb mitigation can be significantly reduced while maintaining some data continuity.
