Abstract
A controller of a memory device controls placement of data blocks by receiving, from a host electronic device, one or more commands of a memory system protocol. The commands include a write command with blocks of data to be stored in the memory device and contextual file system data for the blocks of data. The contextual file system data includes file metadata, file attributes, or both that identify an association of the one or more blocks of data with a file. The file is made up of the one or more blocks of data. The controller identifies the association of the one or more blocks of data with the file and executes the one or more commands, such that the one or more blocks of data are stored in the memory device with a placement based upon the association.
