Abstract:
The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for data relocation in memory having two portions of data. An embodiment includes a memory having a plurality of physical blocks of memory cells, and a first and second portion of data having a first and second, respectively, number of logical block addresses associated therewith. Two of the plurality of physical blocks of cells do not have data stored therein. Circuitry is configured to relocate the data of the first portion that is associated with one of the first number of logical block addresses to one of the two physical blocks of cells that don't have data stored therein, and relocate the data of the second portion that is associated with one of the second number of logical block addresses to the other one of the two physical blocks of cells that don't have data stored therein.
