Abstract

Memory systems may include a memory including a plurality of memory blocks and a controller. The controller calculates an effective read disturb based on both a direct neighbor read disturb count and a non-direct neighbor read disturb count. The controller selects a wordline with the largest effective read disturb for test read and deciding whether to reclaim the data of the block based on the errors on the wordline.
