A data storage device includes a memory device including multiple memory blocks corresponding to multiple sub-regions and a memory controller. The memory controller accesses the memory device and updates content of a read count table in response to a read command with at least one designated logical address issued by a host device. Each field of the read count table records a read count associated with one sub-region and the content of the read count table is updated by increasing the read count associated with the sub-region that the designated logical address belongs to. The memory controller selects at least one sub-region to be rearranged according to the content of the read count table and performs a data rearrangement procedure to move data of logical addresses belonging to the selected at least one sub-region to a first memory space of the memory device having continuous physical addresses.

According to one embodiment, when receiving a write request to designate a first block number and a first logical address from a host, a memory system determines a first location in a first block having the first block number, to which data from the host is to be written, and writes the data from the host to the first location of the first block. The memory system updates a first address translation table managing mapping between logical addresses and in-block physical addresses of the first block, and maps a first in-block physical address indicative of the first location to the first logical address.

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller. The nonvolatile memory has first regions in which data writes and data reads can be executed in parallel. Each of the first regions has second regions which are each a data write/read unit. The controller acquires first values indicating a data write load for each of the first regions, detects a first region having a first value greater than or equal to a first threshold, acquires second values indicating a data write load for each of the plurality of second regions in the detected first region, detects a second region having a second value greater than or equal to a second threshold but less than or equal to a third threshold that is higher than the second threshold, and then move data from the detected second region to a second region in another first region.

Methods, systems, and devices for multi-stage memory device performance notification are described. A memory system may include a first set of memory cells of a first type associated with a first performance level and a second set of memory cells of a second type associated with a second performance level. The memory system may have an interface and a control circuit coupled with the first and second sets of memory cells. The control circuit may be configured to determine a first parameter associated with a transition between the first performance level and the second performance level. The control circuit may also be configured to store the first parameter in a first register based at least in part on determining the first parameter.

A memory sub-system configured to dynamically determine input/output sizes of write commands based on a media physical layout of a memory sub-system. The memory sub-system can identify, dynamically in response to write commands being selected for execution in media units of the memory sub-system, a portion of a media layout that maps from logical addresses identified by the write commands in the logical address space to physical addresses of memory units in the media units. Based on the media layout, an input/output size for a next write command is identified and transmitted to the host system in a response. The host system generates the next write command and configures the amount of data to be written through the next write command based on based on the input/output size identified in the response.

Preventing applications from overconsuming shared storage resources, including: identifying one or more sub-regions of data stored on a storage device that are associated with an application of a known application type; compiling information describing the application's utilization of a storage system; determining that a storage system objective has not been met; and initiating, based on the information describing the application's utilization of the storage system, remediation actions.

A memory sub-system configured to schedule the transfer of data from a host system for write commands to reduce the amount and time of data being buffered in the memory sub-system. For example, after receiving a plurality of streams of write commands from a host system, the memory sub-system identifies a plurality of media units in the memory sub-system for concurrent execution of a plurality of write commands respectively. In response to the plurality of commands being identified for concurrent execution in the plurality of media units respectively, the memory sub-system initiates communication of the data of the write commands from the host system to a local buffer memory of the memory sub-system. The memory sub-system has capacity to buffer write commands in a queue, for possible out of order execution, but limited capacity for buffering only the data of a portion of the write commands that are about to be executed.

A storage device for performing an access authority control and an operating method thereof are disclosed. The storage device including processing circuitry configured to store a plurality of security information associated with the plurality of namespaces in response to a command from the host, each of the security information including virtual machine information associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of virtual machines and unique information associated with the corresponding virtual machine, the virtual machine information including an identifier for the corresponding virtual machine, and the unique information including unique information uniquely set for the corresponding virtual machine, extract at least first information by decoding a data access request received from the host device, and abort processing of the data access request based on the security information and the extracted at least one first information.

An edge accelerator card has a first interface, a second interface, a memory and a processor. The first interface is to couple to a server. The second interface is to couple to a storage system. The processor is to handle communication between the server and the storage system through the first interface and the second interface. The processor is to perform at least one task as directed by the storage system, using the memory and communication through at least the second interface.

A method for managing a memory apparatus comprising a plurality of NV memory elements is disclosed. The method includes providing a physical block of each NV memory element with a local page address linking table by obtaining a first host address and first data from a first host command, and obtaining a second host address and second data from a second host command; linking the first host address to a first page of the physical block; and linking the second host address to a second page of the physical block. A global page address linking table is built by reading the local page address linking tables and stored in a volatile memory. For the local page address linking table, a difference value of the first host address and the second host address is greater than a number of pages of the physical block.
