Abstract

Host read operations affecting a first logical block address of a data storage device are tracked. The data storage device includes a main storage and a non-volatile cache that mirrors a portion of data of the main storage. One or more criteria associated with the host read operations are determined. The criteria are indicative of future read requests of second logical block address associated with the first logical block address. Data of the at least the second logical block address is copied from the main storage to the non-volatile cache if the criteria meets a threshold.
