Abstract
Methods of operating a memory having a first pool of memory cells having a first storage density and a second pool of memory cells having a second storage density greater than the first storage density, as well as apparatus configured to perform similar methods, might include determining whether a value of an indication of available power is less than a threshold, and, in response to determining that the value of the indication of available power is less than the threshold, increasing a size of the first pool of memory cells, limiting write operations of the memory to the first pool of memory cells, and postponing movement of data from the first pool of memory cells to the second pool of memory cells.
