    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus, system and method for apparatus, system and method for throttling an acceptance rate for adding host Input/Output (I/O) commands to a buffer in a non-volatile memory storage device. Information is maintained on an input rate at which I/O commands are being added to the buffer and information is maintained on an output rate at which I/O commands are processed from the buffer to apply to execute against the non-volatile memory. A determination is made of a current level of available space in the buffer and an acceptance rate at which I/O commands are added to the buffer from the host system to process based on the input rate, the output rate, the current level of available space, and an available space threshold for the buffer to maintain the buffer at the available space threshold. I/O commands are added to the buffer to process based on the acceptance rate. The I/O commands are accessed from the buffer to process to execute against the non-volatile memory.

    Abstract: Technology to dynamically modulate read granularity of a memory device. A computing system may include a controller and one or more memory devices coupled to the controller, the one or more memory devices including instructions, which when executed by the controller, may cause the computing system to determine whether a read to a memory device satisfies a sub-page read policy. In addition, the instructions, when executed, may cause the computing system to issue a sub-page read command to retrieve data from the memory device at sub-page granularity when the read satisfies the sub-page read policy. Moreover, the instructions, when executed, may cause the computing system to issue a full-page read command to retrieve the data at full-page granularity when the read does not satisfy the sub-page read policy or when a read for a segment of sequentially stored data does not satisfy the sub-page read policy.
