Data classification for placement within storage devices

A method for issuing one or more write requests to a storage device, the method comprising:

• generating the one or more write requests, each write request comprising a respective data;
• tagging each of the one or more write requests as a respective class from a plurality of classes, wherein the plurality of classes categorize data based on a rate at which it is written to the storage device;
• and
• issuing the one or more write requests with their respective tags to the storage device, wherein the tag of each write request indicates to the storage device to write the respective data proximate to data of a same class.

A system for allocating data on a storage device, the system comprising one or more processors configured to:

• generate one or more write requests, each write request comprising a corresponding data;
• identify each of the one or more write requests as a respective class from a plurality of classes, wherein the plurality of classes categorize each of the corresponding data based on the corresponding data's expected lifetime on the storage device;
• determine a block of a plurality of blocks on the storage device assigned to the respective class, wherein the block is distinct from one or more other blocks of the plurality of blocks assigned to other classes from the plurality of classes;
• and
• write each of the corresponding data to its respectively determined block.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor communicatively coupled to a storage device, direct the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:

• generating the one or more write requests, each write request comprising a respective data;
• tagging each of the one or more write requests as a respective class from a plurality of classes, wherein the plurality of classes categorize data based on a rate at which it is written to the storage device;
• and
• issuing the one or more write requests with their respective tags to the storage device, wherein the tag of each write request indicates to the storage device to write the respective data proximate to data of a same class.
