Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for synchronizing operations between decks of a memory system are described. In some examples, a memory system may determine a PEC difference between sister decks of physical blocks of the memory system. A memory system controller may associate the sister decks with respective virtual blocks. The controller may scan each virtual block of the memory system to determine which blocks are to be recycled, and may generate a list of virtual blocks having a VPC that satisfies a first threshold. In some cases, the controller may perform one or more threshold comparisons to determine whether to perform the maintenance operation on the first sister deck or both the first sister deck and the second sister deck.
