Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for implementing a high-performance data storage device using block-access memory devices are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a storage device includes a block-access memory device configured to stored data in one or more physical sector addresses and a random-access memory device storing a logical-to-physical (L2P) sector address translation data structure. Also, the storage device includes a device manager, coupled to both the block-access memory device and the random-access memory. The device manager is configured to determine a physical sector address in the block-access memory device, in response to a data access request, wherein the data access request includes a logical sector address by mapping the logical sector address to a physical sector address using the L2P sector address translation data structure.
