Abstract:
A method of formatting a data storage device that includes a plurality of flash memory chips includes monitoring a failure rate of memory blocks of one or more flash memory chips of a storage device that has a first usable size for user space applications, estimating a future usable size of the data storage device based on the monitored failure rate, and defining, via a host coupled to the data storage device, a second usable size of the data storage device for user space applications based on the monitored failure rate.
