Abstract:
Methods of executing a multi-page copyback program in a non-volatile memory device are provided, where the non-volatile memory device includes a memory having a plurality of memory blocks. A page of data of the memory block having a first address is replaced responsive to a generated multi-page copyback program command. It is determined if the first address of the page of data is the same as a stored address of the page at which the failure was detected. The first address is incremented if it is determined that the first address and the stored address are not the same. The pages of data are replaced, the addressed are compared and the addresses are incremented until it is determined that the incremented address and the stored address are the same. Related devices and systems are also provided herein.
