Abstract
A solid state drive (SSD) is presented herein that includes a plurality of memory dies communicatively arranged in a plurality of communication channels such that each respective memory die is associated with a respective one communication channel of the plurality of communication channels, each respective memory die comprises one or more die regions, and each of the one or more die regions comprises a plurality of physical blocks configured to store data. The SSD further includes a memory controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of memory dies. The memory controller is configured to, upon a first power up of the SSD, determine a parameter of the SSD and for each of the one or more die regions, associate, based on the parameter, a number of physical blocks of the plurality of physical blocks with a block region of a plurality of block regions.
