A solid-state storage retention monitor determines whether user data in a solid-state device is in need of a scrubbing operation. One or more reference blocks may be programmed with a known data pattern, wherein the reference block(s) experiences substantially similar P/E cycling, storage temperature, storage time, and other conditions as the user blocks. The reference blocks may therefore effectively represent data retention properties of the user blocks and provide information regarding whether/when a data refreshing operation is needed. |
