Abstract
A controller of a memory device may determine that an endurance parameter associated with a wear leveling pool of a memory of the memory device satisfies a threshold. The wear leveling pool includes a plurality of memory blocks of the memory. The controller may divide, based on determining that the endurance parameter satisfies the threshold, the plurality of memory blocks of the wear leveling pool into a first wear leveling pool subset that includes a first subset of the plurality of memory blocks and a second wear leveling pool subset that includes a second subset of the plurality of memory blocks. A first subset of a plurality of data partitions is stored in the first subset of the plurality of memory blocks, and a second subset of the plurality of data partitions is stored in the second subset of the plurality of memory blocks.
