Abstract
A data storage device and method are provided for avoiding returning zeros to a host. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors, individually or in combination, are configured to: receive a command from a host to read data stored in a logical address of the memory; determine whether the data comprises all zeros; and in response to determining that the data comprises all zeros, provide the host with an indication that the data comprises all zeros instead of sending the data to the host. Other embodiments are disclosed.
