Abstract
A data storage device and method are provided for performing an action on an area of memory to satisfy a host-provided target operating condition. In one embodiment, a controller of the data storage device is configured to: receive, from a host, an identification of an area of the memory and a target operating condition for the area of the memory; monitor the area of the memory to determine whether the area of the memory satisfies the target operating condition; and in response to determining that the area of the memory does not satisfy the target operating condition, perform an action on the area of the memory to attempt to cause the area of the memory to satisfy the target operating condition. Other embodiments are provided, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or in combination.
