Abstract

The disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to efficiently perform block migration (e.g., from SLC cache to QLC blocks) in a Zone Namespace (ZNS) device. The controller associates a plurality of zones of the set of memory components with a plurality of internal zone groups (IZGs) each associated with a different write cursor. The controller programs data to a first portion of a set of memory components using the plurality of write cursors, the first portion being associated with a first type of storage, and determines that an individual IZG of the plurality of IZGs satisfies a migration criterion. The controller migrates a portion of the data stored in the first portion of the set of memory components corresponding to the individual IZG to a second portion of the set of memory components, the second portion of the set of memory components being associated with a second type of storage.
