Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to media management, including 'garbage collection,' in memory or storage systems or sub-systems, such as solid state drives, are described. For example, a criticality value can be determined and used as a basis for managing a garbage collection operation on a data block. A controller or the system or sub-system may determine that a criticality value associated with performing a garbage collection operation satisfies a condition. Based on determining that the condition is satisfied, a parameter associated with performing the garbage collection operation can be adjusted. The garbage collection operation is performed on the data block stored on the memory component using the adjusted parameter.
