A diskless storage device includes a volatile memory and at least one director, coupled to the volatile memory, that receives data for the diskless storage device and provides the data to the volatile memory. The at least one director provides logical storage device functionality without using non-volatile memory. The logical storage device functionality may include addressing tracks, blocks, and cylinders of logical storage devices of the diskless storage device. The volatile memory may include a plurality of slots and where data is stored in the slots. Data may be stored in unused ones of the slots and/or slots marked for reuse.
