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 signaling can be received that indicates a request from a controller to migrate valid data from a first data block to a second data block. For example, the first data block can be a data block of a plurality of memory cells configured as single-level-cell (SLC) memory. The second data block can be configured as multi-level-cell (MLC) memory. The data migration operation can include an error control operation that is performed using the memory component, the error control operation excluding transferring the data to the controller. The data can be migrated from the first data block configured as SLC memory to the second data block configured as MLC memory after the error control operation is performed using the memory component.
