1. A solid state device (SSD), comprising: a flash memory configured to store information associated with input/output operations to the SSD; a mapping table including information for translating virtual logical block addresses (LBAs) of the SSD as seen by a processor external to the SSD into physical LBAs of the flash memory; at least one preconditioning status parameter stored thereon and indicative of at least one variable associated with preconditioning emulation of the SSD; and a controller communicatively coupled to the flash memory, the mapping table, and the at least one preconditioning status parameter, the controller configured to modify the mapping table based on the at least one preconditioning status parameter to emulate preconditioning of the SSD.
