Abstract
An apparatus for implementing an enhanced-write-bandwidth caching stream includes a memory that stores machine instructions and a processor that executes the machine instructions. The apparatus receives a first host write stream and a second host write stream that comprises latency-sensitive host write requests. The apparatus also subjects the first host write stream to host-write throttling, and exempts the second host write stream from host-write throttling. The apparatus further requires that the second host write stream invalidate logical blocks in an order corresponding to a previous order in which the respective logical blocks were previously programmed.
