Abstract
Systems and methods can implement one or more intelligent caching algorithms that reduce wear on the SSD and/or to improve caching performance. Such algorithms can improve storage utilization and I/O efficiency by taking into account the write-wearing limitations of the SSD. Accordingly, the systems and methods can cache to the SSD while avoiding writing too frequently to the SSD to increase or attempt to increase the lifespan of the SSD. The systems and methods may, for instance, write data to the SSD once that data has been read from the hard disk or memory multiple times to avoid or attempt to avoid writing data that has been read only once. The systems and methods may also write large chunks of data to the SSD at once instead of a single unit of data at a time. Further, the systems and methods can write to the SSD in a circular fashion.
