Apparatus, System, and Method for Storing Data on a Solid-State Storage Device

A method for storing data on a solid-state storage device, comprising:

• receiving an object storage request referencing object data;
• and
• servicing the request by,
• writing the object data sequentially on the solid-state storage device as a plurality of object data segments such that the object data on the solid-state storage device preserves an ordered sequence of storage operations completed on the solid-state storage device, and
• referencing the plurality of object data segments in one or more object entries of an object index maintained by a controller of the solid-state storage device.

An object modification method comprising:

• receiving a request to modify a first data segment of an object stored in a first location of a solid-state storage device, the solid-state storage device storing a second data segment of the object in a second location of the solid-state storage device;
• modifying the first data segment according to the request;
• storing the modified first data segment in a third location of the data storage device;
• and
• modifying an object entry in an object index in response to the request, the modified object entry indicating where the data segments of the object are stored on the solid-state storage device, the modified object entry comprising a first pointer associated with the first data segment and pointing to the third location and a second pointer associated with the second data segment and pointing to the second location.
