Abstract: A set of host data items is received for storage at a memory sub-system. Each of the set of host data items is associated with a common data type. A zone group size metric associated with the common data type is identified among a set of zone group size metrics each associated with a distinct data type. The set of host data items are programmed to memory cells of a zone group having a zone group size indicated by the zone group size metric.

Abstract: An apparatus with a solid state drive (SSD) configured to manage storage resources for proof of space activities. The SSD has a host interface configured to receive at least read commands and write commands from an external host system. The SSD has memory cells formed on at least one integrated circuit die, and a processing device configured to control executions of the read commands and the write commands. In response to an indication of a storage space request for the host system, the apparatus identifies a portion of storage resources used to store the data of the proof of space plot, and reallocates the portion to service the host system. Subsequently, the SSD can continue proof of space activities based on the proof of space plot using the data stored in a remaining portion of the storage resources initially allocated to the proof of space plot.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to serially chained memory subsystems that support and provide redundant coverage for multiple hosts are described. The grouped set of chained subsystems can provide dedicated storage locations for each of the multiple hosts during normal operations. When one of the hosts fail, the grouped set can reconfigure the internal accessing scheme, thereby allowing the surviving host to see and access locations and data that was initially assigned to the failed host.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to serially chained memory subsystems are described. The grouped set of chained subsystems may coordinate internal communications and operations across the separate subsystems within the set. Memory locations for related or connected data may be dynamically computed to be across multiple subsystems to allow for parallel processing, failure/error recovery, or the like.

Abstract: An input/output (I/O) write request directed at memory devices is received by a processing device. The write request includes a data object. The memory devices include groups of memory cells corresponding to sequential logical addresses. The data object is appended to a compound data object associated with one of the memory devices. The compound data object is associated with the groups of memory cells. A first group of memory cells is in the not-full state, and one or more subsequent, in an order corresponding to the sequential logical addresses, groups of memory cells is identified as a free group of memory cells. The compound data object is caused to be written to the groups of memory cells, resulting in the full state of the first group of memory cells and resulting in the not-full state of at least one of the one or more subsequent groups of memory.

After the burn-in operation, the memory sub-system is provided as a product of the manufacturing facility; and the proof of space plot stored in the memory sub-system is provided as a by-product of the burn-in operation.

The operations include determining, in view of a first zone group identifier associated with the first set of data items, that each data item of the first set of data items is to be programed to one or more zones associated with a first zone group identified by the first zone group identifier. The operations include identifying a first set of zones across the one or more memory devices that match a size associated with the first zone group and that satisfy a programming parallelism criterion. The operations include programming each of the first set of data items to memory cells residing at the identified first set of zones.

A source cursor associated with the victim MU is identified from an ordered set of cursors. A target cursor following the source cursor in the ordered set of cursors referencing one or more available MUs is identified. In response to determining that the source cursor is a last cursor in the ordered set of cursors, the source cursor is utilized as the target cursor. The valid data is associated with the identified target cursor.

Abstract: Memory sub-systems configured to manage storage locations of files for a host system. For example, a connection from a memory sub-system to the host system can support both a cache-coherent memory access protocol to a memory device implemented in the storage capacity of the memory sub-system and a storage access protocol. The memory sub-system can maintain, and share with the host system via the memory device, a medium map configured to identify, for a file stored in the memory sub-system, memory addresses usable for the host system to access locations in the file over the connection using the cache-coherent memory access protocol, and/or logical block addresses usable for the host system to access blocks of the files over the connection using the storage access protocol.
