Abstract
A controller of a storage system may poll a non-volatile memory component to determine an operational status of the memory component after a memory operation has been initiated in the memory component. The controller may, in response to determining the operational status of the memory component is busy, update a polling interval based on a polling factor. The controller may re-poll the memory component to determine the operational status of the memory component after expiration of the updated polling interval. The controller may repeat the updating of the polling interval and the re-polling of the memory component until the operational status of the memory component is determined to be ready or until a predetermined number of iterations of the updating and re-polling have been performed if, in response to the re-polling, the operational status is determined to be busy.
