Claim 5:
6. A method at a device, comprising:
receiving, from a host device and at a first controller for a first memory, an address and a command to move data;
determining that the command is an inter-memory data movement command for data movement between the first memory and a second memory via a data path that is internal to the device and external to the host device;
determining, based at least in part on determining that the command is an inter-memory data movement command, that a direction of the data movement is from the second memory to the first memory;
transmitting, to the host device from the first controller for the first memory, an indication for the host device to suspend access activity to the second memory based at least in part on determining that the command is an inter-memory data movement command, wherein the indication is transmitted before transmission of a read command for the data based at least in part on the direction of data movement being to the first memory from the second memory;
transmitting, from the first controller, the address and the read command to a second controller for the second memory; and
communicating, based at least in part on transmitting the address and the read command, the data to the first memory from the second memory via the data path external to the host device.
