Abstract
Example implementations relate to a memory controller. For example, an apparatus includes a data storage device and a memory controller coupled to the data storage device. The memory controller is to perform, during a memory scrubbing operation, a corrective action to correct an error associated with a data block stored in the data storage device. The memory control is to determine, during the memory scrubbing operation, whether the corrective action is successful. In response to a determination that the corrective action is a failed corrective action, the memory controller is to fix a hardware failure of the data storage device based on a type of the hardware failure.
