Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology to determine a programmable eviction ratio associated with a storage device and convert a portion of a single-level cell region in the storage device into a multi-level cell region in accordance with the programmable eviction ratio. In one example, the amount of the portion converted into the multi-level cell region varies gradually as a function of percent capacity filled in the storage device.
