A storage system caches logical-to-physical address table entries read in volatile memory. The logical-to-physical address table entries are stored in codewords. The storage system can vary a number or size of an entry in a codeword. Additionally or alternatively, each codeword can store both complete and partial logical-to-physical address table entries. In one example, a codeword having 62 bytes of data and two bytes of error correction code stores 15 complete logical-to-physical address table entries and one partial logical-to-physical address table entry, where the remainder of the partial entry is stored in another codeword. This configuration strikes a good balance between storage space efficiency and random-access write performance.

A storage system controller chip includes routing circuitry comprising a host interface for coupling to a host device and an extension interface for coupling to a secondary controller chip. A host controller is coupled to a logical interface of the routing circuitry for receiving a host data access command from the host device via the host interface and logical interface. The routing circuitry transfers the host data access command to the secondary controller chip via the extension interface. The storage system controller chip further includes processor circuitry coupled to the logical interface of the routing circuitry. The processor circuitry receives an indication from the secondary controller chip via the extension interface that execution of the host data access command has been completed by the secondary controller chip and instructs the host controller to notify the host device that execution of the host data access command has been completed.

Disclosed herein are several methods and systems for handling atomic write commands that reach scattered address ranges. One embodiment includes a method of performing an operation in a data storage device, the method comprising: receiving an atomic write command; obtaining a plurality of ranges of logical addresses affected by the atomic write command; for each of the plurality of affected ranges, assigning metadata information to track completion of a write operation performed at that range; performing the write operations in the ranges of logical addresses; updating the metadata information upon completion of the write operations in the ranges; and deferring an update to a translation map of the data storage device until the metadata information has been updated.
