An interface for enabling a computer device to utilize data property-based data placement inside a nonvolatile memory device comprises: executing a software component at an operating system level in the computer device that monitors update statistics of all data item modifications into the nonvolatile memory device, including one or more of update frequencies for each data item, accumulated update and delete frequencies specific to each file type, and an origin of the data item; storing the update statistics of each of the data items and each of the data item types in a database; and intercepting all operations, including create, write, and update, of performed by applications to all the data items, and automatically assigning a data property identifier to each of the data items based on current update statistics in the database, such that the data items and assigned data property identifiers are transmitted over a memory channel to the non-volatile memory device.
