Abstract
A system with a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including identifying a lifecycle state associated with a segment of the memory device, selecting, based on the lifecycle state, an erase policy for performing an erase operation with respect to the segment, and causing the erase operation to be performed with respect to the segment in accordance with the erase policy.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a lifecycle state associated with a segment of the memory device;
- selecting, based on the lifecycle state, an erase policy for performing an erase operation with respect to the segment;
- and
- causing the erase operation to be performed with respect to the segment in accordance with the erase policy.

A method comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device, a lifecycle state associated with a segment of a memory device;
- selecting, by the processing device, based on the lifecycle state, an erase policy for performing an erase operation with respect to the segment;
- and
- causing, by the processing device, the erase operation to be performed with respect to the segment, in accordance with the erase policy.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a segment of the memory device, the segment having a lifecycle state associated with an erase policy providing a delay between an erase operation and a program operation to program the segment after the erase operation;
- and
- causing the erase operation to be performed with respect to the segment in accordance with the erase policy, wherein causing the erase operation to be performed comprises assigning the segment to a first intermediate pool.
