Abstract:

A solid-state storage device (SSD) controller is provided for use with an SSD. The SSD includes a plurality of memory cells, such as non-volatile memory (NVM) cells. The SSD controller comprises a processor and a memory storing statements and instructions for execution by the processor to perform a method of configuring the memory cells. In a dynamic configuration implementation in which at least a subset of the NVM cells are configured in a first NVM storage mode, the method includes: monitoring data activity in relation to the SSD; and dynamically reconfiguring the subset of the NVM cells in a second bit retention mode based on the monitored data activity. In a static configuration implementation, the method includes receiving at least one performance characteristic for the NVM cells; and configuring the subset of the NVM cells in a first bit retention mode based on the received at least one performance characteristic.
