Abstract: A set of host data items is received for programming to the memory subsystem. The set of host data items is programmed to a first region of the memory subsystem that includes one or more memory devices. A determination is made that a sequence at which the set of host data items are programmed across memory devices of the first region does not correspond to a target sequence associated with accessing the set of host data items via the first region. The target sequence corresponds to a sequence that enables a host data items programmed to the memory sub-system to be accessed in parallel. The set of host data items is copied from the first region to a second region of the memory subsystem. A sequence at which the set of host data items is copied to memory devices of the second region corresponds to the target sequence.
