System and method for handling data storage on storage devices

A system for handling data on at least one storage device, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory memory device, wherein modules of instruction code are stored, and a controller associated with the memory device, and configured to execute the modules of instruction code, whereupon execution of said modules of instruction code, the controller is configured to perform at least one of:
• receive, from a computing device, a first storage-access request for storing at least one data segment, comprising one or more data blocks and at least one first metadata object, wherein content of the at least one first metadata object corresponds to content of the one or more data blocks;
• store the one or more data blocks and the at least one first metadata object on the at least one storage device;
• send an acknowledgement to the computing device;
• and
• validate the storage of the one or more data blocks in an offline validation process.

A method of performing offline validation of data storage on computer storage media by one or more controllers, the method comprising:

• receiving a one or more data objects;
• calculating at least one metadata value from the content of the one or more data objects;
• storing the one or more data objects and the at least one metadata value on the storage media;
• and
• validating the storage of the one or more data objects in an offline validation process.
