Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a first request and a second request, wherein the first and second requests are for accesses of data of a solid state memory of a solid state drive; calculating an amount of time based on a characteristic of the first and second requests, wherein the calculation relates to emulation of the first and second requests being issued to a hard disk drive, wherein the calculated amount of time equals: N-N*0.9^(D^2/N), wherein further N equals a limit and D equals an absolute value of the difference, wherein further the difference comprises subtracting logical block addresses of the current and prior requests; delaying a response for the second request by at least a portion of the amount of time; executing the second request to access the solid state memory of the solid state drive; and responding to the second request after the delaying.
