Abstract

An apparatus, according to one embodiment, includes: one or more memory devices, each memory device comprising non-volatile memory configured to store data, and a memory controller connected to the one or more memory devices. The memory controller is configured to: detect at least one read of a logical page straddled across codewords, store an indication of a number of detected reads of the straddled logical page, and relocate the straddled logical page to a different physical location in response to the number of detected reads of the straddled logical page, wherein the logical page is written to the different physical location in a non-straddled manner. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
