1. A data storage device, comprising:
a memory device, wherein the memory device has a first location for storing data expected to be randomly read and a second location for storing data expected to be sequentially read, wherein the first location comprises asynchronous independent plane read (AIPR) circuitry and the second location does not comprise AIPR circuitry; and
a controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the controller is configured to:
receive a command to write data to the memory device;
determine whether data of the command is expected to be sequentially read or randomly read; and
write data of the command to the memory device in either the first location or the second location based upon the determination, wherein:
if the data is expected to be randomly read, the data is written to the first location; and
if the data is expected to be sequentially read, the data is written to the second location.
