Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for retiring computer memory blocks. Two overall schemes are provided for separating poorly functioning blocks from normally functioning blocks. In a first scheme, after data relocation is finished, firmware remembers the old physical memory block. As soon as the system writes to the old physical memory block with new data, firmware issues a read again and receives back a count of error bits. If the returned error bits are still high, then the system identifies the block as being weak and retires the block. In a second scheme, firmware tracks statistics for data relocates, block reads, activity timers, among other statistics. If some blocks have abnormal activities (e.g., too many data relocates, too many reads, etc.), then the system may identify the block as being weak and may retire the physical memory block.
