Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for performing data migration operations using a memory system are described. The memory system may include a component, such as a controller, for facilitating a transfer of data between a first memory device that may implement a first memory technology (e.g., having a relatively fast access speed) and a second memory device that may implement a second memory technology (e.g., having a relatively large capacity). The component may receive an indication of the data migration operation from a host device and may initiate a transfer of data between the first and second memory devices. The controller may include one or more buffers to store data being transferred between the first and second memory devices. In some cases, the transfer of data between the first and second memory devices may occur within the memory system and without being transferred through the host device.
