Abstract
A memory system and method for improving read latency of a high-priority partition are provided. In one embodiment, a memory system receives a command to store data in the memory. The memory system determines if the command specified that the data is to be stored in a standard partition in the memory or in a high-priority partition in the memory. If the command specified that the data is to be stored in a standard partition in the memory, the memory system stores the data using a first write technique. If the command specified that the data is to be stored in a high-priority partition in the memory, the memory system stores the data using a second write technique, wherein the second write technique provides improved read latency of the stored data. Other embodiments are disclosed.
