Abstract
Example multi-device storage systems, storage devices, and methods provide hosted services on peer storage devices. Storage devices include a storage medium, a logical mapping memory, and a processor for executing hosted services using the logical mapping memory. Each storage device is configured to communicate with peer storage devices over an interconnect fabric. The logical mapping memory includes storage device media logical mapping information configured in continuous logical blocks with a media block size equal to a page programming size of the storage medium. The logical mapping memory also includes host logical mapping information, configured in host logical blocks with a host block size smaller than the media block size, for the peer storage devices.
