Abstract
A data storage device and method for dynamic controller memory buffer allocation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and a controller with a controller memory buffer. The controller is configured to communicate with the non-volatile memory and is further configured to configure a size of the controller memory buffer; receive a request from the host to modify the size of the controller memory buffer during operation of the data storage device; and determine whether to grant the request to modify the size of the controller memory buffer. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
