    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques of metadata management for transparent block level compression. A first area may be created in a backend solid state drive. The first area may comprise a plurality of entries. The plurality of entries may be indexed by addresses of a plurality of blocks of uncompressed data. Each of the plurality of entries comprises a first part configured to store metadata and a second part configured to store compressed data. Each of the plurality blocks of uncompressed data may be compressed individually to generate a plurality of compressed blocks. Metadata and at least a portion of compressed data associated with each of the plurality of compressed blocks may be stored in one of the plurality of entries based on an address of a corresponding block of uncompressed data. A second area may be created in the backend solid state drive for storing the rest of the compressed data.
