Patent abstract
A solid state drive (SSD) includes a first storage region classified as byte addressable NV storage region and a controller communicatively coupled to the first storage region by a bus. The controller detects a reduced storage capacity of the first storage region, and in response to the detection, reclassifies the first storage region as a block addressable NV storage region. The SSD dynamically changes byte addressable NV storage regions to block addressable NV storage regions as the byte addressable NV storage regions are degraded, thereby extending the longevity of the SSD.
