Abstract:
In one embodiment, a request to access a first storage location of a storage device may be received, wherein the storage device comprises a data storage and a cache. The cache may be accessed to obtain data for one or more second storage locations of the storage device, wherein the data for the one or more second storage locations has not been written to the data storage, and wherein the first storage location and the one or more second storage locations are located near each other on the data storage. The data storage may then be accessed in response to the request to access the first storage location of the storage device. The data storage may also be accessed to write the data for the one or more second storage locations obtained from the cache.
