Abstract
The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for memory system data management. A number of embodiments include writing data from a host to a buffer in the memory system, receiving, at the buffer, a notification from a memory device in the memory system that the memory device is ready to receive data, sending at least a portion of the data from the buffer to the memory device, and writing the portion of the data to the memory device.

A method for managing data in a memory system, comprising:
- sending a notification from a memory device to a buffer, wherein the notification indicates the memory device is ready to receive data from the buffer and includes a next available address in the memory device;
- and
- writing a number of portions of data starting at the next available address in the memory device in response to receiving the notification.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a buffer coupled to the memory device and configured to:
- receive a notification from the memory device that indicates the memory device is ready to receive data from the buffer;
- allocate a portion of data from a next available data address in the buffer to the memory device in response to receiving the notification;
- and
- send the portion of the data from the buffer to the memory device in response to the portion of the data being allocated to the memory device.
