Abstract

Responsive to a power-on of a memory device, an elapsed power-off time is identified based on a difference between a time at which the power-on occurred and a time at which a previous power-off of the memory device occurred. Responsive to a determination that the elapsed power-off time satisfies the elapsed time threshold criterion, a request to perform a first write operation on a memory unit of the memory device since power on is received, a performance parameter associated with the memory unit of the memory device is changed to a first parameter value that corresponds to a reduced performance level, and the write operation is performed on the memory unit of the memory device in accordance with the first parameter value that corresponds to the reduced performance level. Responsive to completion of the write operation, the performance parameter is changed to a value that corresponds to a normal performance level.
