PROFILE-DEPENDENT WRITE PLACEMENT OF DATA INTO A NON-VOLATILE SOLID-STATE STORAGE

摘要

A method for storing user data is provided. The method includes distributing the user data throughout a plurality of storage nodes through erasure coding, wherein the plurality of storage nodes are housed within a single chassis that couples the storage nodes as a cluster, each of the plurality of storage nodes having nonvolatile solid-state memory for user data storage. The method includes performing analytics on user data and grouping portions of the user data according to results of the analytics. The method includes writing the user data to blocks of flash memory in the non-volatile solid-state memory, wherein each block receives portions of the user data grouped according to at least one of the results of the analytics.
