Abstract
Systems and methods for reducing operational latency of data storage systems are disclosed. More particularly, a data storage device can perform conditioning operations on inactive zones while the data storage device is idle. When an active zone is the target of a write command, the data storage device can exchange a conditioned inactive zone for the unconditioned target zone. The write operation can be performed immediately on the previously-inactive already-conditioned zone. At a later time, the target zone can be conditioned.
