A storage module and method for configuring command attributes are provided. In one embodiment, a storage module is provided comprising a controller having hardware function blocks and further comprising a memory storing associations between command codes and command attributes for the hardware function blocks. The storage module receives a command that includes a command code and determines if the command code is stored in the memory. If the command code is stored in the memory, the storage module configures the hardware function blocks using the command attributes associated with command code and processes the command with the configured hardware function blocks. The associations are configurable after the storage module has been manufactured. This allows new or different associations to be defined after the storage module has been manufactured.
