Patent ID: 11971815
Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A streaming device, comprising:
a network interface;
at least one microprocessor; and
a storage device having memory cells formed on an integrated circuit die;
wherein the storage device is configured to host a plurality of logical partitions on the memory cells and perform wear leveling across the logical partitions, including a first logical partition and a second logical partition;
wherein the at least one microprocessor is configured to perform time shift operations based on buffering, data received via the network interface, into the first logical partition;
wherein the streaming device is configured to:
receive, via a command, a write threshold for the first logical partition, wherein the write threshold specifies a threshold quantity of program erase cycles for the first logical partition and a threshold amount of data to be written to the first logical partition; and
track an accumulated amount of program erase cycles in the memory cells utilized to host the first logical partition that are consumed based on write operations associated with the memory cells that address the first logical partition; and

wherein in response to the accumulated amount of program erase cycles and an accumulated amount of data reaching the write threshold, the streaming device is configured to disable the time shift operations.
