A data storage system has multiple tiers of data storage including an upper tier having a lower access latency and a lower tier having a higher access latency. A storage controller of the data storage system receives, via an interface, an access request of a workload for a target file system object, where the target file system object has an associated temperature. In response to the access request for the target file system object, the storage controller accesses the target file system object in the data storage and conditions update of the associated temperature of the target file system object based on at least one of a set including the interface and the workload. The storage controller distributes a collection of file system objects including the target file system object among the multiple tiers based on respective heats of file system objects in the collection.
