Abstract
Various implementations described herein relate to systems and methods for a solid state drive (SSD) that includes requesting power credits while performing a program or erase operation for a flash memory of the SSD. In response to determining that the requested power credits are rejected, the program or erase operation is suspended and its power credits are released. A read operation may then be performed in response to suspending the program or erase operation and releasing its power credits.
