Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for improving performance of a non-volatile memory are described. An example method includes receiving, by the circuitry, a read command from a firmware. Herein, the firmware is configured to perform a media scan of the memory block, and the media scan comprises the read command. The method further includes the circuitry, in response to the read command, receiving raw data from the memory block, computing a metric associated with an accuracy of the raw data, and transmitting only the metric to the firmware. In this example, the circuitry comprises a checksum computation logic or an error correction code decoder, and the metric is a checksum or a failed bit count, respectively.
