Abstract
Efficient and effective multimode storage devices that can include multiple different types of address spaces that enable different storage space activities are described. A multimode selective underlying exposure storage device can enable selective exposure of underlying aspects of the storage device. In one embodiment, a storage device comprises: a first storage partition including a first type of interface and a first information storage region configured to store a first type of information; and a second storage partition including a selective underlying exposure (SUE) interface and a second information storage region that stores a second type of information, wherein the SUE interface exposes an aspect of the second information storage region.
