Abstract
A data storage device and method for reducing read disturbs when reading redundantly-stored data are provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and a controller. The memory is configured to redundantly store a plurality of copies of data, wherein the plurality of copies of the data comprise a primary copy of the data and at least one secondary copy of the data. The controller is configured to randomly select one of the plurality of copies of the data instead of selecting the primary copy of the data as a default; and read, from the memory, the randomly-selected one of the plurality of copies of the data. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
