logical block
A block of data stored on a storage device, and associated with an address for purposes of retrieval or overwriting.
The term logical block is typically used to refer to the host's view of data addressing on a physical device. Within a storage device, there is often a further conversion between the logical block addresses presented to hosts and the physical media locations at which the corresponding data is stored. See physical block, virtual block.
