Method for performing a memory operation with respect to a memory structure having “N”-number of planes, each plane comprising “M”-number of blocks and “X”-number of word lines arranged in a serial order, and electrically connected with each plane are: a voltage bias source, an electronic switching component, and row decoder, the method comprising: with respect to each plane, selecting a block and a word line for application of the operation, wherein the operation has not been applied to the selected block and word line, the selected block of one plane is located in a different block group from the selected block of another plane, and the selected word line of one plane is in a different position within the serial order from a position of the selected word line of another plane; and using the voltage bias source, concurrently applying the operation to the selected blocks and selected word lines.
