Abstract
Systems and methods to safely and efficiently handle dirty data flush are disclosed. More specifically, when a cache controller determines that one (or more) storage device of a cache device is running out of space, that storage device is given priority to be flushed prior to the other storage devices that are not in such a critical condition. In addition, a cache bypass process can be conditionally enabled to save free physical spaces already running low on such critical cache storage devices.
