Weighted Read Commands And Open Block Timer For Storage Devices

A storage device, comprising:

• a non-volatile storage unit, wherein a capacity of the non-volatile storage unit is divided into a plurality of zones, and wherein the non-volatile storage unit comprises a plurality of dies, each of the plurality of dies comprising a plurality of erase blocks;
• and
• a controller coupled to the non-volatile storage unit, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive a plurality of read commands to read data from a partially full first erase block of a first zone of the plurality of zones non-sequentially, wherein the first erase block comprises a plurality of wordlines, the plurality of wordlines being divided into one or more bins, wherein each bin is associated with a weight, and wherein the weights are based on a location of the bin within the first erase block and an amount of time the first erase block has been open;
• increase each of the weights each time a predetermined amount of time has passed;
• and
• close the first erase block when a sum of the weights associated with the bins accumulates to a predetermined value or when one or more write commands are received to fill the first erase block to a full write capacity.

• and
• a controller coupled to the non-volatile storage unit, wherein the controller is configured to:
• receive one or more first read commands to read data from a first bin of a partially full first erase block of a first zone of the plurality of zones, the first bin being associated with a first weight;
• increase the first weight associated with the first bin after a predetermined amount of time has passed a first time;
• receive one or more second read commands to read data from a second bin of the partially full first erase block, the second bin being associated with a second weight different than the first weight;
• increase the first weight associated with the first bin and the second weight associated with the second bin after the predetermined amount of time has passed a second time;
• receive one or more third read commands to read the data from the first bin;
• increase the first weight associated with the first bin after the data stored in the first bin is read in response to the one or more third read commands;
• and
• close the first erase block when a sum of the first and second weights accumulates to a predetermined value.
