  • Intelligent grouping of data based on expected lifespan
    Patent number: 12135888
    Abstract: A storage system includes solid-state storage devices and a storage controller operatively coupled to the solid-state storage devices, the storage controller including a processing device, to store sets of data at one or more solid-state storage devices of the plurality of solid-state storage devices. The processing device may also generate tags for each of the sets of data based on one or more metadata items associated with each set of data. The processing device may also determine an expected lifespan for each set of data based on the one or more tags generated for the respective set of data. The processing device may also group each of the one or more sets of data into respective ones of a plurality of memory blocks based on the expected lifespan for each set of data, wherein each memory block corresponds to sets of data of a particular expected lifespan.
