Abstract: A storage device may ensure consistent performance when executing a read command provided by a host device. The storage device executes a read instruction received from the host device and executes a background operation to manage resources on a memory device and/or perform thermal throttling on the storage device. The storage device executes a formula including an interleave ratio to interleave host read operations with the background operation based on an operation time. The storage device also uses a read temperature threshold, a preset slowdown percentage, and/or a read speed to optimize host read operations during thermal throttling and thereby limit performance degradation during read operations.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory. The controller is configured, based on a metric associated with a portion of the non-volatile memory, to store a read technique indicator that indicates that the portion is to be read using a high-reliability read technique.
