Abstract
Herein are data storage devices to transfer a reference of a data object during a storage operation. These 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. To the drive controller, the host controller transfers the reference of the object in the memory system. The host controller transfers a storage command to the drive controller to write the object to the storage media. The drive controller may be configured to transfer a reference of an object read into the memory system.
