Abstract
Disclosed herein are techniques for balancing write commands directed to a non-volatile memory. According to some embodiments, a method may include caching a plurality of write commands into a write cache, and, in response to determining that an available capacity of the write cache satisfies a first threshold value: performing at least one write operation by directing data associated with the write commands in the write cache to the first partition of the non-volatile memory in response to determining that an available capacity of a first partition of the non-volatile memory satisfies a second threshold value; and performing at least one write operation by directing data associated with the write commands in the write cache to a second partition of the non-volatile memory in response to determining that the available capacity of the first partition of the non-volatile memory does not satisfy the second threshold value.
