RELOCATING AND/OR RE-PROGRAMMING BLOCKS OF STORAGE SPACE BASED ON CALIBRATION FREQUENCY AND RESOURCE UTILIZATION

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: calibrating a first block of storage space in memory, identifying a page in the calibrated first block having a highest RBER, and determining whether the RBER of the identified page is greater than an error correction code limit....

Summary:A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: calibrating a first block of storage space in memory, identifying a page in the calibrated first block having a highest RBER, and determining whether the RBER of the identified page is greater than an error correction code limit. In response to determining that the RBER of the identified page is not greater than the error correction code limit, a determination is made as to whether the RBER of the identified page is greater than a relocation limit. In response to determining that the RBER of the identified page is not greater than a relocation limit, another determination is made as to whether the first block has been excessively calibrated. Furthermore, in response to determining that the first block has been excessively calibrated, data in the first block relocated to a second block of storage space in the memory.
