US Patent 11016679 Balanced die set execution in a data storage system

A data storage system can arrange semiconductor memory into a plurality of die sets where performance metrics of execution of a first data access command to a first die set and of a second data access command to a second die set are measured. A proactive strategy is generated to maintain consistent data access command execution performance with a quality of service module based on the measured performance metrics and a third data access command is altered, as directed by the proactive strategy, to prevent a predicted non-uniformity of data access command performance between the first die set and the second die set.
