Original Abstract Submitted

A victim management unit (MU) for performing a media management operation is identified. The victim MU stores valid data. A flush command is received from a host system. A cached data item is retrieved from a volatile memory. The cached data item and at least a subset of the valid data stored at the victim MU are written to a target MU.
