A memory controller receives a multi-plane read request and identifies a set of actual read offsets for a set of pages in the multi-plane read request. The memory controller calculates a common read offset using the set of actual read offsets. The memory controller calculates an offset difference for. Each page. Each offset difference reflects the difference between an actual read offset for that page and the common read offset. The memory controller compares a particular page's offset difference to an offset difference threshold. The memory controller categorizes, based on the comparing, a first subset of pages from the set of pages into a single plane group and a second subset of pages from the set of pages into a multi-plane group. The memory controller performs a multi-plane read on the multi-plane group.
