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.

Performing scrambling operations based on a physical block address of a memory sub-system

Systems and methods are disclosed including a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations comprising: receiving a write data request to store write data to the memory device; determining a physical block address associated with the write data request; performing a bitwise operation on each bit of the physical block address to generate a seed value; generating an output sequence based on the seed value; performing another bitwise operation on the output sequence and the write data to generate a randomized sequence; and storing, on the memory device, the randomized sequence.

Adaptively performing media management operations on a memory device

A respective write cycle count for each of a plurality of data units of a memory device is obtained. Based on the respective write cycle count, whether a data unit of the plurality of data units satisfies a media management criterion is determined. Responsive to determining that the respective write cycle count satisfies the media management criterion, a media management operation every first constant cycle count on the data unit is performed. Responsive to determining that the respective write cycle count does not satisfy the media management criterion, a media management operation every second constant cycle count on the data unit is performed. The second constant cycle count is less than the first constant count.

NAND-based storage device with partitioned nonvolatile write buffer

A storage system includes a NAND storage media and a nonvolatile storage media as a write buffer for the NAND storage media. The write buffer is partitioned, where the partitions are to buffer write data based on a classification of a received write request. Write requests are placed in the write buffer partition with other write requests of the same classification. The partitions have a size at least equal to the size of an erase unit of the NAND storage media. The write buffer flushes a partition once it has an amount of write data equal to the size of the erase unit.

Garbage collection method for storage medium, storage medium, and program product

A garbage collection technology for a storage medium that includes a plurality of blocks, where each storage unit has a collection parameter related to data in one of the blocks, and where each block includes a plurality of pages. A group of blocks is selected from the plurality of blocks based on the collection parameter. A difference between values of collection parameters of any two blocks in the group of blocks is not greater than a preset value. Data in a first valid page and a second valid page in the group of blocks is replicated to a same destination block, to facilitate garbage collection.

Garbage data scrubbing method, and device

A garbage data scrubbing method includes obtaining an input/output (IO) busy/idle status of a terminal at a current moment, where the IO busy/idle status includes a busy state and an idle state. When the IO busy/idle status of the terminal at the current moment is the idle state, a discard message is delivered to a storage device, where the discard message includes an initial address and a size of to-be-scrubbed physical space in the storage device, and where the discard message is used to unbind a mapping relationship between a physical address of the to-be-scrubbed physical space and a corresponding logical address.
