Abstract
A data storage device can employ a front end bus to optimize data storage performance. A first controller may be connected to a first memory via a first bus and to a second memory via a second bus with the first bus and first memory housed within an internal cavity of an enclosure while the second bus is exposed to an exterior surface of the housing and the second memory is separated from the internal cavity. The first controller can be configured to substitute the second memory for the first memory in response to a front end controller identifying a type of data storage of the second memory.
