Abstract
A command to relocate data is transmitted by a storage controller. The command includes first address information associated with a first set of blocks storing the data at one or more storage devices using a first programming mode and second address information associated with a second set of blocks at the one or more storage devices to store the relocated data using a second programming mode. The command causes the relocation of the data from the first set of blocks to the second set of blocks while bypassing sending the data to the storage controller. An acknowledgement is received that the relocated data has been stored at the second number of blocks.
