Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for contiguous data address management are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a processor configured to receive a write command including data to be written to a plurality of logical block addresses (LBAs); determine if the plurality of LBAs includes LBAs from a plurality of logical bands; and when the plurality of LBAs includes LBAs from a plurality of logical bands, combine the plurality of logical bands into a single logical band and write the data to the single logical band. In another embodiment, the processor may be further configured to separate the single logical band into the plurality of logical bands when the data written to the plurality of LBAs becomes invalid.
