Abstract
A method operable with the storage device includes determining a workload to the storage device based on host Input/Output (I/O) requests to the storage device. When the workload is above a threshold, a first portion of the storage device is selected for garbage collection based on the I/O requests. Otherwise, when the workload is below the threshold, a second different portion of the storage device is selected for garbage collection based on a storage ability of the second portion of the storage device.
