Abstract
The disclosure provides data storage devices, methods, and apparatuses including, among other things, a NAND feature through which software may define logical die groups. Moreover, these logical die groups are indexed and operated with indexed single commands, which is selective-multi-casting to specific dies. In one implementation, a data storage device includes a NAND memory and a controller. The NAND memory including a plurality of dies. The controller is coupled to the NAND memory and configured to generate an index by assigning each die of the plurality of dies to one logical group of a plurality of logical groups, and create the plurality of logical groups in the NAND memory by sending one or more command sequences to the NAND memory that groups the plurality of dies into the plurality of logical groups based on the index that is generated.
