Abstract
A storage device, e.g., an SSD, is configured to enable spanning for a logical block between pages of the device. In one example, a device includes a data storage module to receive data to be stored, wherein the data comprises a plurality of logical blocks, and wherein a size of the plurality of logical blocks exceeds a size of a first page of the device, and a spanning determination module to determine whether to partition one of the plurality of logical blocks into a first partition and a second partition, wherein the data storage module is configured to partition the one of the plurality of logical blocks into the first partition and the second partition and to store the first partition in the first page and the second partition in a second, different page when the spanning determination module determines to partition the one of the plurality of logical blocks.
