Responsive to determining that a first portion of the target zone is open, the write command is executed at the first portion. Responsive to determining that the first portion has reached a threshold capacity, a second portion allocated to a media management pool is identified. The second portion satisfies a threshold capacity. One or more blocks associated with the second portion are erased. The second portion is allocated to a free block list.
