Abstract

A Data Storage Device (DSD) includes a flash memory for storing data. Portions of the flash memory are grouped into logical groups based on at least one of a number of Program/Erase (P/E) cycles and a physical level location of the portions of the flash memory. A command performance latency is monitored for each logical group, and at least one polling time for each respective logical is set based on the monitored command performance latency for the logical group. The at least one polling time indicates a time to wait before checking whether a portion of the flash memory in the logical group has completed a command.
