Abstract

Devices and techniques for corrupted storage portion recovery in a memory device are described herein. A failure event can be detected during a garbage collection operation on a collection of storage portions (e.g., pages) in a memory array. Here, members of the collection of storage portions are being moved from a former physical location to a new physical location by the garbage collection operation. A reference to a former physical location of a possibly corrupt storage portion in the collection of storage portions can be retrieved in response to the failure event. Here, the possibly corrupt storage portion has already been written to a new physical location as part of the garbage collection operation. The possibly corrupt storage portion can then be rewritten at the new physical location using data from the former physical location.
