Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving a lifetime hint for a zone, where the lifetime hint is an estimation of a length of time user data for the zone will be valid. It is determined that the zone has been fully written to a source memory region. A destination memory region is determined to store the user data for the zone using the lifetime hint. The user data for the zone is moved from the source memory region to the destination memory region.
