Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or devices are used to manage a storage system. In one aspect, the method includes, during a first time period: maintaining a credit pool for the first time period; limiting bandwidth used for transmitting data between a storage device of the storage system and a host operatively coupled with the storage device according to a status of the credit pool, where the storage device includes one or more memory devices; monitoring a temperature of the storage device; and, in accordance with a determination that a current temperature of the storage device exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature and the current temperature of the storage device satisfies one or more temperature criteria, reducing an initial value of the credit pool for a second time period according to a first adjustment factor corresponding to the predetermined temperature threshold, where the second time period is subsequent to the first time period.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or devices are used to manage a storage system. In one aspect, the method includes receiving, from a host to which a storage device of the storage system is operatively coupled, a request to perform a first memory operation on one or more memory devices of the storage device. The method includes determining a count of credits corresponding to the first memory operation. If a current count of credits in the first credit pool is greater than or equal to the count of credits corresponding to the first memory operation and a current count of credits in the second credit pool is greater than or equal to the count of credits corresponding to the first memory operation, the method includes: performing the first memory operation; and decrementing the first and second credit pools according to the count of credits corresponding to the first memory operation.

Abstract: A storage device and method enable processing of un-map commands. In one aspect, the method includes (1) determining whether a size of an un-map command satisfies (e.g., is greater than or equal to) a size threshold, (2) if the size of the un-map command satisfies the size threshold, performing one or more operations of a first un-map process, wherein the first un-map process forgoes (does not include) saving a mapping table to non-volatile memory of a storage device, and (3) if the size of the un-map command does not satisfy the size threshold, performing one or more operations of a second un-map process, wherein the second un-map process forgoes (does not include) saving the mapping table to non-volatile memory of the storage device and forgoes (does not include) flushing a write cache to non-volatile memory of the storage device.
