    Abstract: A Data Storage Device (DSD) includes a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) for storing data, a network interface for communicating on a network, and a processor. According to one aspect, a command is received via the network interface for storing data in the NVM. A data writing methodology is dynamically selected for how the data will be physically stored in the NVM from among a plurality of data writing methodologies based at least in part on whether the command is to be performed using a first interface or a second interface for accessing data in the NVM. According to another aspect, respective storage capacities of the NVM and/or respective rates of consumption of different types of storage media in the NVM are assigned to the first interface and to the second interface.
