Abstract
Read Quality of Service in a solid state drive is improved by allowing a host system communicatively coupled to the solid state drive to control garbage collection in the solid state drive. Through the use of controlled garbage collection, the host system can control when to start and stop garbage collection in the solid state drive and the number of NAND dies engaged in garbage-collection operations.
