STORAGE SYSTEM DEVICE MANAGEMENT

摘要

This document describes, in various implementations, features related to receiving, at a storage system that includes a storage volume and a plurality of storage devices that operate separately from the storage volume, read requests directed to data stored on the storage volume. The document also describes replicating certain data stored on the storage volume to the storage devices such that read requests associated with the certain data are fulfilled either by the storage volume or by the storage devices. The document also describes determining first usage information that is indicative of actual or expected usage of the storage system at a first time, and powering down at least one of the storage devices based on the first usage information.
