Abstract
The memory sub-systems of the present disclosure selects, for memory scans, a memory block which has a highest page fill ratio. In one embodiment, the memory sub-system identifies a number of block stripes located on a logical unit (LU) identified by a logical unit number (LUN), where the LU is one of a plurality of LUs of a memory device. The sub-system determines a fill ratio for each of the plurality of block stripes. The sub-system selects, among the block stripes, a block stripe with a highest fill ratio. The sub-system identifies, from the selected block stripe, a memory block of the LU. The sub-system performs a memory scan operation on the memory block of the memory device.
