Techniques For Storing Data In Multiple Different Data Storage Media

A data storage system comprising:

• a first data storage medium;
• a second data storage medium, wherein the first and the second data storage media are different types of data storage media;
• and
• a controller for processing read and write commands to the first data storage medium and to the second data storage medium,
• wherein the data storage system assigns a first range of logical block addresses to physical addresses in the first data storage medium, and the data storage system assigns the first range of logical block addresses to physical addresses in the second data storage medium, and
• wherein the data storage system stores data associated with the first range of logical block addresses in both of the first and the second data storage media.

A data storage system that comprises code for storing data in multiple different types of data storage media, wherein the code is stored in a computer readable medium in the data storage system, the data storage system comprising:

• code for processing read and write commands to a first data storage medium and to a second data storage medium, wherein the first and the second data storage media are different types of data storage media;
• code for assigning a first range of logical block addresses to physical addresses in the first data storage medium, and assigning a second range of logical block addresses to physical addresses in the second data storage medium, wherein the first data storage medium comprises NAND Flash memory;
• and
• code for storing data associated with the first and the second ranges of logical block addresses in the first and the second data storage media at the physical addresses assigned to the respective logical block addresses.
