Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for provisioning storage devices. An example method includes specifying a logical zone granularity for logical space associated with a disk drive. The method further includes provisioning a zone of a physical space of the disk drive based at least in part on the specified logical zone granularity. The method also includes storing compressed data in the zone in accordance with the provisioning.
