A data storage module includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. A method performed in the data storage module includes receiving an overprovision capacity instruction from a host device. The method further includes updating a file system table of the non-volatile memory to indicate, by designating logical addresses in the file system table as being in use, that the logical addresses are used without reducing an amount of free physical space in the non-volatile memory.
