Abstract
A storage device is configured to reduce the file size of media files stored on the device by removing thumbnail data. In response to determining that a data file received from a host is a media file having thumbnail data and a file size, the control circuitry is configured to modify the media file to remove the thumbnail data and reduce the file size of the media file, and then store the modified media file. In response to receiving a request for the data file from the host, the storage device responds by retrieving the modified media file from the storage medium, generating second thumbnail data corresponding to the original thumbnail data, remodifying the media file to add the second thumbnail data to the request; and providing the remodified media file to the host.
