Abstract

A data storage device includes at least one non-volatile memory and a controller with two-layer architecture. The two-layer architecture includes a front end coupled to a host and a back end coupled to the non-volatile memory. The controller includes a command processor and at least one non-volatile memory controller. The command processor is arranged on the front end to communicate with the host, and it schedules the operation of the data storage device based on an external command from the host. The non-volatile memory controller is arranged on the back end, and it controls the non-volatile memory based on the schedule of the command processor. When the non-volatile memory increases, the non-volatile memory controller also increases correspondingly while the amount of command processors remains the same.
