Abstract

The various implementations described herein include systems, methods and/or devices for storing data in a storage device. In one aspect, commands are executed, each command for storing in a storage device a logical group of data comprising one or more logical portions and having a logical address. For each command, in accordance with a determination that a remaining capacity of a first physical memory portion is less than a threshold capacity, data is stored for a head logical portion in a first physical location corresponding to the first physical memory portion. Furthermore, data is stored for a tail logical portion in a second physical location corresponding to a second physical memory portion. Mapping entries are stored in a mapping table, where the mapping entries map the corresponding logical address to at least the first physical location in the storage device.
