COMMAND SLOT MANAGEMENT FOR MEMORY DEVICES

A data storage device including a non-volatile memory device including one or more non-volatile memory sets and one or more endurance groups. Each of the endurance groups includes at least one of the non-volatile memory sets. The data storage device includes a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory device. The controller is configured to receive a pending command message from a host interface, where the received pending command message includes a command configured to be executed by a first endurance group of the number of endurance groups. The controller is further configured to determine an assigned command slot for storing the command, where the assigned command slot is selected form one of a private command slot pool associated with the first endurance group or a shared command slot pool, fetch the command from the host device, and store the fetched command in the assigned command slot.
