Abstract

An apparatus with a solid state drive (SSD) configured to manage storage resources for proof of space activities. The SSD has a host interface configured to receive at least read commands and write commands from an external host system. The SSD has memory cells formed on at least one integrated circuit die, and a processing device configured to control executions of the read commands and the write commands. In response to an indication of a storage space request for the host system, the apparatus identifies a portion of storage resources used to store the data of the proof of space plot, and reallocates the portion to service the host system. Subsequently, the SSD can continue proof of space activities based on the proof of space plot using the data stored in a remaining portion of the storage resources initially allocated to the proof of space plot.
