Abstract
The disclosure is related to storage devices employing file-aware drivers. In one example, a device may comprise a driver configured to retrieve file system information related to an input/output (I/O) command, determine storage attributes based on the file system information, and store selected data in a preferred region of a data storage medium based on the storage attributes. Another embodiment may be a method comprising inspecting characteristics of an I/O request for a file, setting storage attributes for the file based on if the file is preferred, and storing the file on a data storage medium based on the storage attributes.
