Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure configure a memory sub-system controller to inform a host about write amplification penalty for host invalidations. The controller generates a virtual memory group comprising a portion of a memory component of a set of memory components. The controller computes a write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group. The controller communicates, to a host, information about the write amplification penalty associated with invalidating data associated with the virtual memory group. The controller receives, from the host, a request to invalidate data associated with the virtual memory group, the request being generated by the host based on the write amplification penalty.
