In some embodiments, systems and methods for operating on a storage device having a data portion and a log portion with a plurality of regions are provided. A write command is received with a storage device controller. The write command may include an address portion and a data portion. A current position in the log is identified that corresponds to a first of the plurality of regions to which data has been written last. Data stored in a second of the plurality of regions is selectively transferred to the data portion of the storage device based on validity and frequency of use of the data. The data and address portions included in the write command are stored to the log portion based on the current position.
