Abstract

A memory sub-system configured to predictively schedule the transfer of data to reduce idle time and the amount and time of data being buffered in the memory sub-system. For example, write commands received from a host system can be queued without buffering the data of the write commands at the same time. When executing a first write command using a media unit, the memory sub-system can predict a duration to a time the media unit becoming available for execution of a second write command. The communication of the data of the second command from the host system to a local buffer memory of the memory sub-system can be postponed and initiated according to the predicted duration. After the execution of the first write command, the second write command can be executed by the media unit without idling to store the data from the local buffer memory.
