In solid-state storage media 110, an effect called read disturb can occur in unselected storage cells when adjacent storage cells are selected and read, causing charge to collect on the floating gates of the unselected storage cells making the unselected storage cells have an increased voltage that has not been deliberately applied. One approach to combating the effects of read disturb, is to move valid data out of the disturbed cells while the values in those cells are still determinable. The valid data may be re-written to a new physical location and the disturbed cells are erased to remove the effects of the read disturb. This approach is called a refresh and the time between refresh operations is referred to as a data refresh interval. A read disturb threshold is a number of reads of neighboring cells before remedial action is needed to mitigate the effects of read disturb. A data refresh interval at which storage regions are processed for storage capacity recovery and/or data refresh, that is appropriate for a solid-state storage device 102 near an end of life may be too aggressive for a solid-state storage device 102 at the beginning of use.
