Abstract
A storage system suspends an ongoing program operation to execute a read command. There is a limit on the number of times the storage system can suspend the program operation, and latencies occur for read commands that are received after the limit has been reached. To improve read quality of service, a blackout window is established that prevents the storage system from suspending the program operation for a period of time after the program operation resumes. The period of time can be chosen such that program suspensions are evenly distributed over the course of the program operation.
