Abstract
In response to receiving a read request while non-volatile memory is performing an erase operation, a solid state drive (SSD) device controller suspends the erase operation to permit the non-volatile memory to execute a read operation corresponding to the read request. The SSD device controller determines a time delay for suspending the erase operation based on a metric that indicates a degree of completeness of the erase operation, and delays suspending the erase operation for the determined time delay when the determined time delay is non-zero.
