Abstract

A method is provided. In an example, the method includes identifying a memory module that includes a plurality of memory dies. Each memory die of the plurality of memory dies includes a plurality of memory regions, and each memory die of the plurality of memory dies services a respective portion of a data access. An error pattern is detected in a first memory region of the plurality of memory regions. The first memory region is associated with a first memory die of the plurality of memory dies. Based on the detected error pattern, the first memory region of the first memory die is marked as erased without marking a second memory region of the first memory die as erased.
