Abstract
An example method for using a plurality of SSDs as a caching medium in a data storage system can include splitting the SSDs into a plurality of cache regions, maintaining a first cache region of the SSDs as a read cache and maintaining a second cache region of the SSDs as a write cache. Additionally, read data can be stored by striping the read data across the SSDs in the first cache region, and dirty write data can be stored by mirroring the dirty write data across the SSDs in the second cache region. The computer-implemented method can also include dynamically adjusting a size of at least one of the first and second cache regions of the SSDs based on an input/output ('I/O') load of the data storage system.
