Abstract

Several embodiments of memory devices with direct read access are described herein. In one embodiment, a memory device includes a controller operably coupled a plurality of memory regions forming a memory. The controller is configured to store a first mapping table at the memory device and also to provide the first mapping table to a host device for storage at the host device as a second mapping table. The controller is further configured to receive a direct read request sent from the host device. The read request includes a memory address that the host device has selected from the second memory table stored at the host device. In response to the direct read request, the controller identifies a memory region of the memory based on the selected memory address in the read request and without using the first mapping table stored at the memory device.
