MANAGING A MEMORY SYSTEM INCLUDING MEMORY DEVICES WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract:

A first set of characteristics corresponding to a first memory device and a second set of characteristics corresponding to a second memory device are received. A first usage threshold for the first memory device based on the first set of characteristics and a second usage threshold for the second memory device based on the second set of characteristics are determined. In response to determining that a respective usage of the first memory device exceeds the first usage threshold, subsequent data is refrained to be stored to the first memory device, and the first memory device is operated in a read-only mode by performing read operations on data stored at the first memory device.
