Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for managing storage space in hybrid data storage systems. Specifically, the systems and methods of the present invention intelligently allocate data to solid state drives or other relatively high performance drives, and other data storage, such as, for example, hard drives or other like drives, based on data source, data type, data function or other like parameters. The intelligent allocation between at least one solid state drive, or other relatively high performance drive, and at least one other drive type allows for greater system performance through efficient use storage space. Specifically, the present invention adaptively uses the fastest necessary connected storage options in a hybrid data storage set to maintain maximum performance while most efficiently using minimum rewrites of data. Moreover, the allocation of data to storage in a hybrid data storage system may be controlled automatically or may be specifically set by a user thereof.
