Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses include determining a read counter for a portion of memory of a memory device satisfies a read threshold. A weighted subportion identifier for the portion of memory is selected in response to the read counter satisfying the threshold. The weighted subportion identifier is selected probabilistically, a probability of selection based on defectivity information for subportions of memory of the portion of memory. A subportion of memory is determined using the weighted subportion identifier. A data validity scan is performed on the subportion of memory.
