Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus related to controlling media scan in memory devices. In one approach, a controller manages a media scanning process for a memory (e.g., NAND flash memory) as a function of temperature. The controller collects temperature data from one or more sensors of the memory. Using the collected temperature data, the controller determines a moving average temperature. Based on the moving average temperature, the controller updates a frequency of the media scanning process.
