Key Value Data Storage Device With Improved Utilization For Short Key Value Pairs

A data storage device, comprising:

• a memory device;
• and
• a controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the controller is configured to:
• analyze a plurality of key value (KV) formats present in the data storage device;
• generate a grouping of two or more KV formats based on the analyzing, wherein the generating associates a first KV format with one or more second KV formats, and wherein the generated grouping is based on reaching at least a utilization parameter of a storage container of the memory device based on the grouping;
• and
• store the generated grouping for use by the controller to group two or more KV pair data received from a host device.

A data storage device, comprising:

• memory means;
• and
• a controller coupled to the memory means, wherein the controller is configured to:
• store received key value (KV) pair data in a first location of the memory means;
• aggregate a first KV pair data associated with a first KV format with a second KV pair data associated with a second KV format, wherein the first KV format and the second KV format are distinct, and wherein the aggregating is to at least a utilization parameter of a second location of the memory means;
• and
• program the aggregated KV pair data to the second location of the memory means when the utilization parameter of the second location is reached or exceeded.
