Methods, systems, and devices for sequential prefetching through a linking array are described. A prefetch manager can detect that a set of tags occupying a queue of a memory sub-system corresponds to a single read descriptor indicating a sequential read pattern. The prefetch manager can determine that a number of the set of tags occupying the queue is below a queue threshold and store data associated with at least one tag of the set of tags in an internal performance memory of the memory sub-system based on the detecting and the determining. In such cases, the prefetch manager can prefetch data from a memory manager and store in the internal performance memory.
