Abstract
In accordance with a method of the invention, host data, accompanied by host LBA, is received from a host. If the host data is determined not to be a duplicate host data, an available intermediate LBA (iLBA) is identified and the host LBA is linked to the identified iLBA. During writing of the received host data to the SSDs, an available SLBA is identified and saved to a table at a location indexed by the identified iLBA. Accordingly, the next time the same host data is received, it is recognized as a duplicate host data and the host address accompanying it is linked to the same iLBA, which is already associated with the same SLBA. Upon this recognition, an actual write to the SSDs is avoided.
