According to one embodiment, a memory system determines a write destination block and a write destination location in the write destination block to which write data is to be written, and notifies a host of an identifier of the write data, a block address of the write destination block, and an offset indicative of the write destination location. The memory system retrieves the write data from a write buffer of the host, and writes the write data to the write destination location. In a case where a read command to designate a physical address of first data is received before a write operation of the first data is finished, the memory system reads the first data from the write buffer of the host.

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for detection of shutdown patterns are described. A memory device may receive a set of commands from a host device. The memory device may determine whether the set of commands are associated with a shutdown procedure based on a pattern of the received set of commands. The memory device may initiate one or more operations associated with the shutdown procedure based on identifying that the set of commands are associated with the shutdown procedure. The memory device may receive a shutdown command for the shutdown procedure after initiating the one or more operations associated with the shutdown procedure. The memory device may determine that the set of commands are associated with the shutdown procedure based on a quantity of the set of commands, one or more types of the set of commands, other thresholds associated with the pattern, or a combination thereof.

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for atomic write operations are described. A memory system may determine a set of pages for an atomic write operation in which data associated with a write command is linked together for writing to a non-volatile memory. The memory system may write, to the non-volatile memory, metadata that indicates the set of pages is associated with the atomic write operation. Based on the metadata, the memory system may determine whether each page of the set of pages has been written with data for the atomic write operation. The memory system may then communicate to a host system an indication of a completion status for the atomic write operation based on determining whether each page of the set of pages has been written with the data for the atomic write operation.

Systems, methods, and apparatus related to memory devices. In one approach, a memory has a namespace formatted using a first sector size. Master boot record (MBR) data is written to an MBR region outside of the namespace using the first sector size. After writing the MBR data, the namespace is reformatted using a second sector size. A read command is received from a host for an address in an MBR address range of the namespace. In response to receiving the read command, the MBR data is read from the MBR region. Padding is added to the read MBR data, and the padded MBR data is sent to the host device.

The present disclosure generally relates to recognizing a violation of an expected write amplification (WAF) rate and informing a host device of the violation so that the host device may take corrective action and ensure the data storage device does not reach end of life (EOL) earlier than expected. The host can provide the data storage device with an expected lifetime and may additionally provide a benchmark WAF rate. The data storage device compares the actual WAF rate to the benchmark WAF rate and notifies the host device of any violation where the actual WAF rate exceeds the benchmark WAF rate.
