Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus facilitate data streaming in bulk storage devices by generating linked lists containing entries for both user data and metadata. These linked lists containing mixed data types facilitate receiving and outputting user data, and to insert or ignore, respectively, metadata corresponding to that user data without interrupting flow of the user data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of writing data to a bulk storage device, comprising: decoding a write command received at the bulk storage device; generating a linked list in response to decoding the write command, wherein the linked list has one or more entries for user data to be received from an external device, one or more entries for metadata generated by the bulk storage device, and a defined order of the entries corresponding to a defined data structure, and wherein the…
