Abstract:
A solid-state drive (SSD) is configured for dynamic resizing. When the SSD approaches the end of its useful life because the over-provisioning amount is nearing the minimum threshold as a result of an increasing number of bad blocks, the SSD is reformatted with a reduced logical capacity so that the over-provisioning amount may be maintained above the minimum threshold.

Claim (Index 1):
A storage device comprising:\n a non-volatile semiconductor memory having a raw physical capacity equal to a first size; and a controller configured to over-provision the non-volatile semiconductor memory by a predetermined second size, and in response to a command from a host, to scan the non-volatile semiconductor memory for bad blocks, compute a third size by using the first size, the second size, a total size of the bad blocks, and a system area amount of the non-volatile semiconductor memory, and to format the non-volatile semiconductor memory to reduce a usable capacity thereof to the third size.
