Abstract
Devices, methods and apparatuses for dynamically enabling and disabling garbage collection operations during periods of burst in host command activity. Host command latency is monitored during operation of a data storage device. During normal operation, host data is stored in host blocks in a memory of the data storage device. During periods of burst, the host command latency may increase above a garbage collection disable threshold. In response, an electronic processor disables garbage collection operations. Additionally, during this time, host data is stored in buffers in the memory of the data storage device. When the host command latency decreases below a garbage collection enable threshold, the data storage device returns to normal operation and enables garbage collection operations.
