A system, method and program product for transferring contiguous blocks of data between a host storage and a flash memory. A method is disclosed that includes: receiving from a host at a flash controller a host command that specifies a contiguous set of LBAs and specifies a corresponding sub-section of an LBA to PBA mapping table; fetching the sub-section of the LBA to PBA mapping table from the host and storing the sub-section in a sub-mapping table; and for each LBA in the contiguous set of LBAs, performing a look-up into the sub-mapping table to retrieve a corresponding PBA and using the corresponding PBA to effectuate a data transfer between the host and flash memory from the flash controller.
