Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for data separation configurations for memory systems are described. A memory system may store one or more characteristics of data, which may be utilized to improve performance associated with transferring the data between blocks of memory cells. For example, a memory system may be configured to evaluate whether to separate data in one or more transfer operations based on the characteristics of the data. Some transfer configurations may include transferring data independent of characteristics of the data and some other transfer configurations may include transferring data based on characteristics of the data. In some examples, a transfer configuration may include transferring data associated with a relatively longer validity duration characteristic before transferring data associated with a relatively shorter validity duration characteristic, which may include transferring data associated with different validity duration characteristics to the same target block or to different target blocks.
