Abstract
Variably-sized data objects may be received for storage at a data store. The data store may have a minimum write size. In various embodiments, received data objects may be divided into one or more equally-sized portions that equal the minimum write size of the data store and a remainder of the data object. The one or more equally-sized portions of the data object may be stored in data blocks that are equivalent to the minimum write size of the data store in a fixed-size data storage area of the data store. The remainder of the data object may be stored in a variably-sized data storage area of the data store along with one or more other data portions in a same data block. The remainder of the data object may, in some embodiments, be linked to the one or more equally-sized portions of the data object.
