Abstract:
Technologies for performing a data copy operation on a data storage device include storing a copy token in a power-fail-safe data structure that identifies the source address and destination address of the data copy operation, updating an address table to indicate that the source and destination addresses are involved in the data copy operation, and notifying a host requesting that data copy operation that the data copy operation has been completed prior to performing the data copy operation. The host may subsequently perform other tasks while the data storage device completes the data copy operation. During the data copy operation, data access requests to the source or destination addresses are blocked based on the address table. Additionally, should a power failure event occur, the power-fail-safe data structure is saved to non-volatile data storage so that the copy operation may be completed upon the next power-on event of the data storage device.
