Abstract
In an embodiment, a block of memory cells is rested in response to the block of memory cells being deemed to fail. For some embodiments, a rested block may be selected for use in response to passing an operation. In other embodiments, a rested block may be rested again or may be permanently retired from further use in response to failing the operation.
