Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for circular buffer partitions are described. A memory device may include one or more sets of memory cells configured to operate as circular buffers. In some cases, upon receiving w rite command, the memory device (e.g., a controller of the memory device) may write data to the circular buffer based on a location of a cursor (e.g., a header pointer). After a write operation, the cursor may be incremented such that, upon receiving a subsequent write command, data may be written to the circular buffer beginning at the location of the cursor. In some examples, the circular buffer may be associated with one or more partitions (e.g., snapshot partitions) such that, upon the occurrence of a triggering event, a subset of data stored to the circular buffer may be stored to the partition (e.g., to a different portion of the memory device).
