A method of operation of a storage system includes: establishing a virtual storage deviceincluding allocating portions of a storage media, a storage media, a storage media N, or a combination thereof including writing data blocks to the virtual storage device; determining a pinning status for the data blocks; pinning the data blocks to a logical block address (LBA) range until the pinning status indicates an unpinning of the data blocks; and relocating the data blocks to the storage media, the storage media, the storage media N, or the combination thereof within the virtual storage devicewhen the pinning status indicates unpinned.

Storage system with file priority mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a storage system includes: collecting performance data including periodically sampling a non-volatile (NV) device for loading a statistics and capacity usage table; comparing a policy and threshold table to the statistics and capacity usage table; and configuring a virtual disk from a network of storage application servers for supplementing or replacing the NV device that exceeded the policy and threshold table while an application continues to utilize the NV device.

Storage system with allocated storage device mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a storage system includes: identifying a low activity region in the first tier storage and a high activity region in the second tier storage; exchanging data of the high activity region with the data of the low activity region; and wherein protecting the data comprises: copying the low activity region to a reserved section; updating a new physical address of the low activity region in a virtual-to-physical table; copying the high activity region to the location in the first tier storage previously occupied by the low activity region; and updating the new physical address of the high activity region in the virtual-to-physical table and mapping the physical block region, originally allocated to the high activity region, to the reserved section.

Storage system with data management and protection mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a storage system includes: accessing a storage tier manager coupled to a first tier storage and a second tier storage; identifying a low activity region in the first tier storage and a high activity region in the second tier storage; and exchanging a physical block region corresponding to the high activity region with the physical block region corresponding to the low activity region by the storage tier manager.

Storage system with data management mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method () of operation of a storage system includes: partitioning a first virtual disk volume by allocating a first portion, a first low performance storage capacity, and a first reserved capacity; establishing, based on a user policy register, a partition bias for the first virtual disk volume; and adjusting a capacity of the first portion and the first low performance storage capacity based on usage statistics, the partition bias, and limiting the capacity adjustment by a dynamic partitioning module.

Storage system with load balancing mechanism and method of operation thereof

A method of operation of a storage system includes: establishing a first virtual disk volume including allocating a first portion and a first low performance storage capacity; generating a usage statistics for the first virtual disk volume; and calculating a first trend line for adjusting the first portion and the first low performance storage capacity based on the usage statistics.
