International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A storage controller is provided. The storage controller includes a host interface, a media interface, and a processing system coupled with the host interface and the media interface. The processing system is configured to configured to maintain a translation table that relates logical addressing to physical blocks of the one or more storage media using at least an extents-based scheme in the translation table to relate the logical addressing to the physical blocks, wherein the extents-based scheme comprises a starting location combined with span length of a sequential portion of data stored on the one or more storage media, and the processing system also configured to handle storage operations of the storage drive in accordance with the translation table.
