Claim 0:
1. A storage device having a plurality of dies of blocks of pages of data coupled to a host system having a host buffer to buffer reads and writes to blocks of data in the pages of the storage device, wherein the storage device includes logic to perform operations, the operations comprising:
performing garbage collection operations with respect to the blocks of pages to consolidate valid data from pages to fewer pages;
determining whether a processing measurement at the storage device satisfies a threshold;
setting a timer value to a positive value in response to determining that the processing measurement satisfies the threshold;
starting a timer to run for the timer value;
blocking writes from the host buffer while the timer is running, wherein writes remain in the host buffer while the timer is running; and
accepting a write from the host buffer to process in response to expiration of the timer.
