Optimized media management operations between multiple data storage bands

A method comprising:

• receiving a request to write data to a memory device, the memory device comprising:
• a cache band, configured to store a first number of bits per memory cell;
• and
• a data band, configured to store a second number of bits per memory cell, wherein the second number of bits per memory cell is greater than the first number of bits per memory cell;
• writing the data to a memory segment of a plurality of memory segments in the cache band;
• determining whether characteristics of the data satisfy a threshold criterion associated with the cache band;
• and
• responsive to determining that the characteristics of the data satisfy the threshold criterion, selecting a media management operation to be performed on the memory segment.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request to write data to a memory device, the memory device comprising:
• a cache band, configured to store a first number of bits per memory cell;
• and
• a data band, configured to store a second number of bits per memory cell, wherein the second number of bits per memory cell is greater than the first number of bits per memory cell;
• writing the data to a memory segment of a plurality of memory segments in the cache band;
• determining whether characteristics of the data satisfy a threshold criterion associated with the cache band;
• and
• responsive to determining that the characteristics of the data satisfy the threshold criterion, selecting a media management operation to be performed on the memory segment.
