A method performed by a controller includes initiating a first data write operation and an erase operation on a portion of a non-volatile memory. The first data write operation corresponds to a first write resolution. The method includes initiating a second data write operation to write test data to the portion of the non-volatile memory. The second data write operation corresponds to a second write resolution that is greater than the first write resolution. The method also includes reading a representation of the test data from the portion of the non-volatile memory.
