Abstract

A system having a processing device and a controller, operatively connected to a memory sub-system via a communication channel, to: store information identifying an amount of available capacity of a buffer of the memory sub-system; transmit, through the communication channel to the memory sub-system, one or more write commands to store data in memory components of the memory sub-system, where the memory sub-system queues the one or more write commands in the buffer; update the information by deducting, from the amount of available capacity, an amount of buffer capacity used by the one or more write commands to generate a current amount of available capacity of the buffer; and determine whether to generate an information request to the memory sub-system based at least in part on the current amount of available capacity.
