Abstract

A threshold criterion of a plurality of threshold criteria is identified based on a current program-erase cycle (PEC) count of a first block of a memory device, wherein the first block is configured as quad-level cell (QLC) memory. A raw bit error rate (RBER) associated with data of a second block of the memory device is determined, wherein the second block is configured as single-level cell (SLC) memory. It is determined that the RBER associated with the data of the second block satisfies the threshold criterion. In response to determining that the RBER satisfies the threshold criterion, the data of the second block is written to the first block.
