Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a system for high efficiency storage in high capacity non-volatile solid state applications. The system includes a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device performs operations including receiving a request to program data, storing the data by default in a first type of storage with multi-level memory cells having a first number of levels, and bypassing a second type of storage with fewer levels. Upon detecting a condition, the processing device transfers the data to a third type of storage with a greater number of levels than the first type. This method optimizes storage efficiency and performance by dynamically managing data storage based on the portion of user logical block addresses that contain user data.
