1. A data storage device, comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory; and
a microcontroller, allocating the nonvolatile memory to store write data requested by a host,wherein;
according to a first accumulated amount of data written to the nonvolatile memory in a first writing mode and a second accumulated amount of data written to the nonvolatile memory in a second writing mode, the microcontroller allocates the nonvolatile memory to store write data requested by the host in the first writing mode and in the second writing mode alternately; and
in comparison with the first writing mode, more bits of data are stored in one storage cell in the second writing mode.

Abstract
An optimized operating method for a nonvolatile memory. A microcontroller allocates the nonvolatile memory to store write data requested by a host. According to a first accumulated amount of data written to the nonvolatile memory in a first writing mode and a second accumulated amount of data written to the nonvolatile memory in a second writing mode, the microcontroller allocates the nonvolatile memory to store write data requested by the host in the first writing mode and in the second writing mode alternately. In comparison with the first writing mode, more bits of data are stored in one storage cell in the second writing mode.
