1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
one or more substrates; and
a controller coupled to the one or more substrates, the controller including logic to:
control access to a NAND-based storage media that includes a first cell region with a first number of levels and a second cell region with a second number of levels that is different from the first number of levels,
determine logical block address locations that correspond to a user configurable capacity placeholder, and
adjust respective sizes of the first cell region and the second cell region at runtime based on the logical block address locations.
