Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for a storage device to, upon receiving a command from a computing host, determine whether or not the command includes location information targeting a particular portion of a NVM of the storage device, the location information having been retrieved by the computing host from a shadow map and included with the command. Upon determining that the command includes location information, the command is processed by the storage device using the included location information. Upon determining that the command does not include location information, the storage device determines the particular portion of the NVM targeted by the command based on a map stored in a memory of the storage device before processing the command.
