1. A method comprising:

  • identifying whether a block of non-volatile memory (NVM) is a partially programmed block (PPB) based on a read count corresponding to the block of NVM;

    comparing the read count with a first threshold when it is identified that the block is a PPB; and

    when identified otherwise, comparing the read count with a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is smaller than the second threshold.
