Subject: Problem with NAND memory data retention
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 12:25:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170427122502.285d16ba@jawa> (raw)

Dear All,

I'd like to ask you for sharing your experience with NAND Flash devices
- which may be older that their data retention time.

I've a problem with Flash NAND memory (Samsung 128Mx8).

In the data sheet [1] the manufacturer claims that it has 10 years for
data retention. The device equipped with it is a bit older than 10
years.


How one can diagnose that data retention time for NAND Flash has been
exceeded?

Is that:

- The number of bit flip errors on a RW page so large that ECC cannot
  fix it?

- Or are whole RW pages erased (0xFF)/corrupted/cleared (0x00)?

- Or any other evidence?


Thanks in advance for your help.
