A method of partitioning a data storage device (100, 302) that has a plurality of memory chips (118a, 118b, 218, 318) includes determining a number memory chips (118a, 118b, 218, 318) in the data storage device (100, 302), defining, via a host (106, 350) coupled to the data storage device (100, 302), a first partition (321, 331) of the data storage device (100, 302), where the first partition (321, 331) includes a first subset of the plurality of memory chips (118a, 118b, 218, 318), defining a second partition (322, 332) of the data storage device (100, 302) via the host (106, 350) where the second partition (322, 332) includes a second subset of the plurality of memory chips (118a, 118b, 218, 318), such that the first subset does not include any memory chips (118a, 118b, 218, 318) of the second subset and wherein the second subset does not include any memory chips (118a, 118b, 218, 318) of the first subset. |
