Systems, methods, and/or devices are used to automate read operations performed at an open erase block. In one aspect, the method includes: receiving a read command, at a storage device, to read data from non-volatile memory of the storage device. In response to receiving the read command, the method further includes: 1) reading data using a first set of memory operation parameters in response to a determination that the read command is not for reading data from a predefined portion of an open erase block (e.g., an erase block that is determined to be an open erase block) of the non-volatile memory and 2) reading data using a second set of memory operation parameters (i.e., the second set is distinct from the first set) in response to a determination that the read command is for reading data from the predefined portion of an open erase block of the non-volatile memory.
