Abstract:
1. A method for storing data in a hybrid drive including a solid state component and a rotating platter component, the method comprising: determining a frequency with which data is accessed, from information associated with the data; dynamically computing a threshold value, based on the frequency with which the data is accessed and a size of the data; classifying the data into a high classification and a low classification, based on the frequency with which data is accessed and the computed threshold; selecting the solid state component of the hybrid drive or the rotating platter component of the hybrid drive, based on the high classification and the low classification; causing the data to be stored in the selected solid state component of the hybrid drive, when the data is classified into the high classification; and causing the data to be stored in the selected rotating platter component of the hybrid drive, when the data is classified into the low classification, wherein the method is performed by one or more devices.
