A storage system in one embodiment comprises a plurality of storage devices and a storage controller. The storage controller is configured to receive a plurality of logical addresses. Each logical address has one of a content-based mapping type and an address-based mapping type. Responsive to a first logical address of the plurality of logical addresses having the content-based mapping type, the storage controller is configured to utilize a content-based mapping generated based on content of a data page associated with the first logical address to identify a corresponding physical address. Responsive to a second logical address of the plurality of logical addresses having the address-based mapping type, the storage controller is configured to utilize an address-based mapping generated based on the second logical address to identify a corresponding physical address.
