Abstract

A data storage device includes a controller and a non-volatile memory coupled to the controller. The non-volatile memory includes executable boot code that is executable by a processor associated with the data storage device. The controller is configured to read a first portion of the executable boot code from a first region of the non-volatile memory, and in response to detecting a condition, move a second portion of the executable boot code in a second region of the non-volatile memory to a third region of the non-volatile memory.
