Techniques for improved write performance modes

An apparatus, comprising:

• a controller associated with a memory system comprising a plurality of non-volatile memory cells arranged in a plurality of logical units, wherein the controller is configured to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, at a memory system, a request for metadata associated with the memory system;
• transmit the metadata to a host system, the metadata comprising an indication that the memory system supports a first performance mode and a second performance mode that is associated with reduced write latency than the first performance mode:
• receive a command comprising an indication of a storage size associated with the second performance mode;
• and
• provision a logical unit of the memory system for the second performance mode with the storage size.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• receive, at a memory system operating in a first performance mode, a command associated with a second performance mode, the memory system comprising a plurality of non-volatile memory cells arranged in a plurality of logical units;
• abort, at the memory system and based at least in part on the command, one or more memory management operations associated with first data stored in the plurality of non-volatile memory cells;
• receive, at the memory system, a write command and second data associated with the write command;
• and
• write the second data associated with the write command to a logical unit associated with the second performance mode.
