Abstract
Herein are data storage devices that transfer a reference to a data object during a storage operation. The data storage devices include a host controller configured to obtain a reference of an object stored in a shared memory system for writing to a storage media controlled by a drive controller. The host controller transfers the reference of the object in the memory system to the drive controller. The host controller also transfers a storage command to the drive controller to write the object to the storage media.
