SELECTING STORAGE LOCATION FOR FILE STORAGE BASED ON STORAGE LONGEVITY AND SPEED

摘要

A method for selecting storage locations is provided. The method involves selecting storage locations for file storage by matching the speed and/or longevity of the storage locations with the frequency of access of the file type of the file, or the frequency of access of the file itself. The method allows for optimized usage of storage locations by matching frequently accessed files with higher performing storage locations, storage devices or storage systems.
