Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for modes to extend life of memory systems are described. In some examples a host system and a memory system may support one or more vendor commands to configure one or more logical units of the memory system to be accessible in a read-only mode. For example, the host system may periodically transmit a command to retrieve health information of the memory system. The host system may compare the health information to one or more thresholds associated with one or more host entities. If the health information satisfies a threshold for a host entity, the host system may transmit a command to the memory system to initiate a read-only mode for the logical units associated with the host entity. Additionally or alternatively, the memory system may track the health information and compare the health information to the one or more thresholds.
