Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods accessing a storage device of a host machine. The method can include: receiving, via a first guest flash translation layer (FTL) instance, a first request for accessing the storage device from a first virtual machine running on a host machine, wherein the first request comprises a first physical address of the storage device; transmitting, via the first FTL instance, the first request to a host FTL driver; converting, via the host FTL driver, the first request into a first hardware command; transmitting, via the host FTL driver, the first hardware command to the storage device; and executing, via the solid state drive, the first hardware command.
