Abstract
A group of non-volatile, solid state memory cells are transferred from an active list that includes memory cells accessible to a host to a temporary list that includes memory cells temporarily inaccessible to the host. The memory cells included in the temporary list are maintained at a temperature that is substantially the same as or lower than that of memory cells included in the active list. The memory cells are transferred from the temporary list to the active list in response to satisfaction of a trigger condition.
