ABSTRACT:
Methods, computer program products and systems for providing an upgradeable hard disk. The system includes a plurality of memory card slots and a controller. The controller includes a host interface in communication with a host computer, a memory card interface in communication with one or more memory cards located in one or more of the memory card slots, and a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism monitors the memory card slots for newly added memory cards; and in response to detecting a newly added memory card determines characteristics of the newly added memory card and updates the data placement strategy in response to the characteristics of the newly added memory card. The data placement strategy is utilized by the controller to determine write locations for write data received from the host computer via the host interface.
