Abstract
A data storage device is configured to boost either capacity or performance using a set of reserve memory blocks. The data storage device includes a storage media and control circuitry. The storage media includes first set of memory blocks at a first capacity level and a first performance level and a reserve set of memory blocks. The control circuitry is configured to, in response to receiving a selection of a first storage mode from a user, allocate the reserve set of memory blocks to provide a second performance level greater than the first performance level. The control circuitry is further configured to, in response to receiving a selection of a second storage mode from the user, allocate the reserve set of memory blocks to provide a second capacity level greater than the first capacity level.
