A data storage device with one or more buffers can employ buffer tenure management with at least a data storage device having a first buffer, a second buffer, a buffer manager, and a non-volatile memory. The first buffer can be located on-chip while the second buffer is located off-chip. The first buffer may be filled with data having a tenure of less than a predetermined tenure threshold as directed by the buffer manager.
