Abstract
A system and method for memory block pool wear leveling in a nonvolatile memory device. An improved bit error rate for the nonvolatile memory system is attained by identifying a plurality of memory block pools of the nonvolatile memory system, identifying a relaxation time delay for each of the plurality of memory block pools and executing a predetermined number of program/erase cycles for each of the plurality of memory block pools based upon the relaxation time delay of the memory block pools.
