==Original Abstract Submitted==

An apparatus can include memory devices and a memory controller coupled to the memory devices via memory channels. The memory channels can disable a first memory channel associated with a first memory die in a respective memory chip of a memory device and perform a memory operation via a second memory channel involving a second memory die in the respective memory chip.
