GARBAGE COLLECTION CANDIDATE SELECTION USING BLOCK OVERWRITE RATE

摘要

A processing device in a memory system determines a rate at which an amount of valid data is decreasing on a first block of the memory device and determines whether the rate at which the amount of valid data is decreasing on the first block satisfies a threshold criterion. Responsive to the rate at which the amount of valid data is decreasing on the first block satisfying the threshold criterion, the processing device performs a media management operation on the first block of the memory device.
