Patent number: 11960741Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to writing data to streams. A host device can instruct a data storage device to operate in implied streams mode such that the host device does not need to tell the data storage device the specific stream in which to write data. The data storage device would maintain a list of open append points of specific streams. Upon receiving a write command, the data storage device determines whether the write command is for an already open stream, and if so, write to the specific stream. If not, then the data storage device opens a new stream or write the data to an overflow stream.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Liam Parker, Matias Bjorling, Michael James
