    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to providing serial ATA (SATA) initiator addressing and storage device slicing. In example embodiments, an expander device configures an initiator serial attached SCSI (SAS) address to uniquely identify a SATA initiator, where the SATA initiator is associated with a target address of a SATA storage bridge. Further, the STP storage bridge of the expander device is configured to associate the initiator SAS address with a drive slice of an SATA storage device. At this stage, the expander device receives a SATA request from the SATA initiator, where the SATA request comprises a SATA command and a logical block addressing (LBA) address, and after inserting the initiator SAS address into the SATA request, sends an STP connection request to the target address. The expander device may then offset the LBA address based on the initiator SAS address to obtain an offset LBA address of the SATA storage device.

    Abstract translation: 示例实施例涉及提供串行ATA(SATA)启动器寻址和存储设备切片。 在示例实施例中,扩展器设备配置启动器串行连接SCSI(SAS)地址以唯一地标识SATA启动器,其中SATA启动器与SATA存储桥的目标地址相关联。 此外,扩展器设备的STP存储桥被配置为将启动器SAS地址与​​SATA存储设备的驱动片相关联。 在这个阶段,扩展器装置从SATA启动器接收SATA请求,其中SATA请求包括SATA命令和逻辑块寻址(LBA)地址,并且在将启动器SAS地址插入到SATA请求之后,发送STP连接 请求到目标地址。 然后,扩展器设备可以基于发起者SAS地址来偏移LBA地址,以获得SATA存储设备的偏移LBA地址。
