Abstract
Technologies are provided for a storage device data move command. A storage device can be configured to receive a data move (or garbage collection) command and, responsive to receiving the command, move data from one zone of the storage device (or range of storage locations within the storage device) to another zone (or another range of storage locations) within the storage device. The command can comprise a source zone identifier and a target zone identifier. The storage device can read data from a storage zone associated with the source zone identifier and write the data to another storage zone associated with the target zone identifier. The identifiers can include ranges of storage location addresses within the separate storage zones. In at least some embodiments, a host bus adapter can be configured to support the data move (or garbage collection) command for a storage device attached to the host bus adapter.
