Abstract

Various embodiments provide for block caching with queue identifiers on a memory system. In particular, when a write request to write host data is executed on a memory system that uses write/block caching and the host data is written to one or more cache blocks of a memory device of the memory system, the memory system can cause the queue identifier of the write request to be stored on the memory system in association with the host data. Subsequently, when the memory system moves (e.g., de-stages) data from one or more cache blocks (e.g., single-level cell (SLC) blocks) to one or more non-cache blocks (e.g., quad-level cell (QLC) blocks), the memory system can do so based on queue identifiers associated with host data written on one or more cache blocks of the memory system.
