A storage cache cluster, comprising:

• a plurality of information handling systems, each of the information handling systems including:
• a processor;
• a solid state drive comprising a cache storage element of the storage cache cluster;
• and
• a memory including processor executable program instructions that, when executed, cause the storage cache cluster to perform flush write back operations responsive to detecting a cache flush signal, the flush write back operations comprising:
• accessing current time data indicative of a current time;
• determining a current time window in accordance with the current time;
• identifying a current cache storage element corresponding to the current time window;
• and
• for a duration of the current time window, writing back particular write back blocks only, the particular write back blocks comprising write back blocks stored in the current cache storage element;
• wherein writing back the particular write back blocks comprises writing back the particular write back blocks in accordance with logical block address information associated with each write back block.

A cache server, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one solid state drive;
• and
• a memory including processor executable program instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform flush write back operations, comprising:
• accessing current time data indicative of a current time;
• determining a current time window in accordance with the current time;
• identifying a current solid state drive corresponding to the current time window;
• and
• for a duration of the current time window, writing back only particular write back blocks, comprising write back blocks stored in the current solid state drive.
