1. A storage system, comprising:
a memory device;
a system controller;
a first data path, between the system controller and the memory device, associated with a first queue;
a second data path, between the system controller and the memory device, associated with a second queue,
wherein the system controller is configured to:
receive, via a host interface, a write command and data associated with the write command;
classify the data; and
associate the data with the second queue based on classifying the data, wherein the first queue is associated with a first data classification, and the second queue is associated with a second data classification; and
a processor, included in only the second data path, configured to:
retrieve the data associated with the second queue; and
compress the data, to form compressed data, for storage in the memory device based on the write command, wherein only the second data path is configured to cause data compression.
