Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatus that monitor and mitigate Read Disturb errors in non-volatile memory (NVM) devices such as NAND flash memories. The disclosed methods and apparatus determine which logical block addresses (LBAs) in the NVM device are frequently accessed by a host, rather than looking a physical address accesses. The potential Read Disturb errors may then be mitigated by triggering Read Disturb mitigation when the numbers of access of one or more of the frequently accessed LBAs exceeds a predefined number of accesses.
