Methods for facilitating efficient storage operations using host-managed solid-state disks and devices thereof

A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions for facilitating efficient storage operations using host-managed solid-state disks (SSDs), the instructions comprising machine executable code that, when executed by a host processor of at least one machine, causes the machine to:

• initiate a direct memory access (DMA) transfer of a data block from a first location indicated in an application write request to a write buffer in a device memory of a solid state disk (SSD);
• determine when one or more write rules are satisfied based on content of the write buffer in the device memory of the SSD, wherein the content comprises at least the data block and one or more other data blocks previously transferred to the write buffer;
• and
• issue a physical media copy request to transfer at least a portion of the content from the write buffer in the device memory of the SSD to flash media of the SSD, when the determination indicates the write rules are satisfied.

A computing device, comprising:

• a host memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions for facilitating efficient storage operations using host-managed solid-state disks (SSDs);
• and
• a host processor coupled to the host memory, the host processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the host processor to:
• initiate a direct memory access (DMA) transfer of a data block from a first location indicated in an application write request to a write buffer in a device memory of a solid state disk (SSD);
• determine when one or more write rules are satisfied based on content of the write buffer in the device memory of the SSD, wherein the content comprises at least the data block and one or more other data blocks previously transferred to the write buffer;
• and
• issue a physical media copy request to transfer at least a portion of the content from the write buffer in the device memory of the SSD to flash media of the SSD, when the determination indicates the write rules are satisfied.
