摘要

A method and a storage device may be provided. The storage device may include physical storage subdivided into a number of regions. The regions may start and end based on logical block addresses specified in a region table. At least one of the regions may be mapped to a logical drive letter. One or more others of the regions may be mapped to a subfolder with respect to the logical drive letter. The storage device may include an access control table. Each entry of the access control table may correspond to a respective region of the physical storage. Each of the entries of the access control table may indicate whether the respective region is protected and whether at least one entity is permitted protected access to the respective region after being successfully authenticated.
