Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for data relocation in memory. An embodiment includes a controller, and a memory having a plurality of physical units of memory cells. Each of the physical units has a different sequential physical address associated therewith, a first number of the physical units have data stored therein, a second number of the physical units do not have data stored therein, and the physical address associated with each respective one of the second number of physical units is a different consecutive physical address in the sequence. The controller can relocate the data stored in the physical unit of the first number of physical units, whose physical address in the sequence is immediately before the first of the consecutive physical addresses associated with the second number of physical units, to the last of the consecutive physical addresses associated with the second number of physical units.
