Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for converting logical block address de-allocation information in a first format to a second format. In use, logical block address de-allocation information is received in a first format associated with a first protocol. Additionally, the logical block address de-allocation information in the first format is converted to a second format associated with a second protocol.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- receiving logical block address de-allocation information in a first format associated with a first protocol;
- and
- converting the logical block address de-allocation information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol.
A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:
- computer code for receiving logical block address de-allocation information in a first format associated with a first protocol;
- and
- computer code for converting the logical block address de-allocation information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a bridge for receiving logical block address de-allocation information in a first format associated with a first protocol and for converting the logical block address de-allocation information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol.
A method, comprising:
- receiving power loss information in a first format associated with a first protocol;
- and
- converting the power loss information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol;
- wherein converting the power loss information in the first format to the second format includes converting one of a power loss primitive or a power loss command to one of a primitive or command for hardening data.
A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:
- computer code for receiving power loss information in a first format associated with a first protocol;
- and
- computer code for converting the power loss information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol;
- wherein converting the power loss information in the first format to the second format includes converting one of a power loss primitive or a power loss command to one of a primitive or command for hardening data.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a bridge for receiving power loss information in a first format associated with a first protocol and for converting the power loss information in the first format to a second format associated with a second protocol;
- wherein converting the power loss information in the first format to the second format includes the bridge converting one of a power loss primitive or a power loss command to one of a primitive or command for hardening data.
