PERFORMING A MEDIA MANAGEMENT OPERATION BASED ON CHANGING A WRITE MODE OF A DATA BLOCK IN A CACHE

Abstract:

A garbage collection operation can be performed on one or more data blocks of a memory sub-system, where data is stored at the one or more data blocks using a first write mode. In response to determining that the garbage collection operation satisfies a performance condition, a determination is made as to whether a data block of a cache area of the memory sub-system satisfies an endurance condition, where data is stored at the data block of the cache area using a second write mode. A write mode for the data block of the cache area is changed from the second write mode to the first write mode responsive to determining that the data block satisfies the endurance condition. The data block of the cache area is then used in the garbage collection operation.
