Abstract
In an embodiment, a system includes a plurality of memory components that each include a plurality of management groups. Each management group includes a plurality of sub-groups. The system also includes a processing device that is operatively coupled with the plurality of memory components to perform wear-leveling operations that include maintaining a sub-group-level delta write count (DWC) for each of the sub-groups of each of the management groups of a memory component in the plurality of memory components. The wear-leveling operations also include determining, in connection with a write operation to a first sub-group of a first management group of the memory component, that a sub-group-level DWC for the first sub-group equals a management-group-move threshold, and responsively triggering a management-group-move operation from the first management group to a second management group of the memory component.
