Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for reducing the number of write operations to a flash-based storage system that stores and replaces data. The storage system includes a first storage implemented using non-flash storage and a second storage implemented using flash memory. Missed data is first stored in the first storage, which can be less sensitive than flash to write operations. The missed data is stored in the flash-based second storage only after the missed data satisfies a storage management algorithm.
