Abstract

The embodiments described herein generally relate to a local mass storage device that provides a suggested read list of digital data to a host device. In one embodiment, a method is provided in which a local mass storage device receives a request from a host device for a suggested read list of digital data stored in the local mass storage device. The local mass storage device creates the suggested read list and provides the suggested read list to the host device. In this embodiment, the local mass storage device is managed by the host device using a logical block addressing protocol.
