Abstract
A method may include writing data to a hard drive. In some examples, the method may include receiving, by an extent allocator module, a command to write data. The command may include data and a logical block address (LBA) specified by the host. The method may also include mapping, by the extent allocator module, the LBA specified by the host to a drive LBA. The method may further include sending, from the extent allocator module, a command to write the data at the drive LBA.
