Abstract
The use of steaming functionality on a storage device may be optimized by performing a combination of stream and non-stream writes based on a size of the data being written to a given stream. For example, a method may comprise writing data associated with a plurality of files to a first set of one or more erase blocks, determining that an amount of data associated with a given one of the plurality of files in the first set of one or more erase blocks has reached a threshold, and moving the data associated with the given file from the first set of one or more erase blocks to a stream, the stream comprising a second set of one or more erase blocks on the storage device different from the first set of one or more erase blocks.
