Abstract
A data storage device and method for hybrid space balancing based on host read affinity and heuristics are provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors, individually or in combination, are configured to: receive information from a host regarding an incoming write workload of a burst operation; and dynamically adjust an amount of the memory configured as single-level cell (SLC) memory versus multi-level cell (MLC) memory based on the information to accommodate the burst operation. Other embodiments are disclosed.
