Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: maintaining a first subset of the plurality of blocks in a first pool, where the blocks maintained in the first pool are configured in SLC mode. A second subset of the plurality of blocks is maintained in a second pool, where the blocks maintained in the second pool are configured in multi-bit-per-cell mode. A current I/O rate for the memory is identified during runtime, and a determination is made as to whether the current I/O rate is outside a first range. In response to determining that the current I/O rate is not outside the first range, the blocks maintained in the first pool are used to satisfy incoming host writes. Moreover, in response to determining that the current I/O rate is outside the first range, the blocks maintained in the second pool are used to satisfy incoming host writes.
