Abstract
A drive placement or placement functionality can enable initial copies of data to be placed on a drive in reclaim unit (HRUs) in a manner which is probabilistically more efficient from a garbage collection (GC) perspective and leverages knowledge of a host or application using the data. The placement functionality enables the advantages of fine-grained placement functionality while simultaneously allowing a storage device or storage drive to maintain NAND or other management responsibility, and not allocate that responsibility to an application or host device using the device.
