Described herein are storage devices that allow the host-computing device and various users of the storage device to understand what configurations are available for partitions and to select various configurations and preferences that can inform the storage device on how to best allocate memory blocks/dies to provide service levels and performance equal or surpassing the requested amount from the host-computing device and/or user. In this way, users can select particular die(s)/memory blocks based on their desired application. Alternatively, the user/host-computing device can indicate service quality preferences that can be parsed and translated to various characteristics that can inform the selection of the available memory blocks and dies.
