Abstract
The disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to perform scalable write amplification (WAF) measurement. The controller receives a request to place a memory sub-system into a WAF mode and, in response, reduces a full capacity of the memory sub-system to a reduced capacity by restricting write operations to an individual portion of a set of memory components. The controller generates a log that tracks a number of write operations performed to store data to the individual portion of the set of memory components relative to a plurality of requests to program the data to the individual portion of the memory sub-system. The controller computes, based on the log, the WAF for the full capacity of the memory sub-system based on the WAF of the reduced capacity of the memory sub-system.
