1. A method of performing an operation in a memory device, comprising the steps of:
preparing a die that includes a plurality of memory blocks which are physically arranged in six planes, the die being configured to allow parallel operations in memory blocks of any combination of all six planes;
configuring the die to operate in at least two different operating modes depending on a type of memory product that the die is electrically connected with, the at least two operating modes including a four-plane operating mode wherein memory blocks in only four of the six planes can be selected simultaneously and a six-plane operating mode wherein memory blocks in all six planes can be selected simultaneously;
connecting the die to a memory product;
detecting whether the memory product is a first type of memory product or is a second type of memory product that is different than the first type of memory product;
in response to the memory product being detected as being the first type of memory product, then automatically setting the die into the four-plane operating mode; and
in response to the memory product being detected as being the second type of memory product, then automatically setting the die into the six-plane operating mode.
