Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for plane balancing in a memory system are described. A memory system may select a memory die for writing a set of data. The memory die may include a plurality of planes each of which may include a respective plurality of blocks of memory cells. Based on selecting the memory die, the memory system may determine a first plane of the plurality of planes that has a first quantity of blocks with an availability status and a second plane of the plurality of planes that has a second quantity of blocks with the availability status. The memory system may write the set of data to the plurality of planes, excluding at least the first plane, based at least in part on the first quantity of blocks and the second quantity of blocks.
