Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a controller is adapted to control read/write access to a storage media including a pre-allocated area having multiple meta-blocks. The controller includes logic adapted to control the multiple meta-blocks as a first in first out (FIFO) circular queue. The logic selects one or more meta-blocks from the multiple meta-blocks based on an order associated with the FIFO circular queue and selectively writes a logical block address (LBA) mapping table to the selected one or more meta-blocks.
