Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for determining a compacting arrangement to store logical addressable units, which include compressed data sectors, into hardware addressable units of a storage device. The compacting arrangement is based on compression information associated with the logical addressable units. A write module is used to write the compressed data sectors to the storage device according to the compacting arrangement.
