Abstract
Embodiments generally relate to programming NAND blocks of a solid-state device (SSD) to any suitable block type and utilizing the programmed NAND blocks to efficiently process computer operations performed by a solid-state drive (SSD). Example block types include a single-level cell (SLC), a multi-level cell (MLC), a triple-level (TLC), or a quad-level cell (QLC). The block type are stored in a mapping table as an association designating the NAND block as being of a particular block type. For example, the mapping table includes entries indicating whether NAND blocks have been programmed as SLC, MLC, TLC, or QLC blocks. In this manner, the capacity, speed, and endurance is improved by allocating computer operations to target NAND blocks being of particular block types.
