Active LBA range

The specified logical-block address interval available to a storage test or its preparation workload.

Record the start and end addresses, not only a working-set size. A chosen test interval does not itself describe device occupancy, previous writes or the distribution of accesses inside that interval.

Limitations

• The same address span can be accessed sequentially, uniformly randomly or with hotspots
• A host-visible interval does not identify physical NAND placement
