Abstract
An apparatus for storing data based on physical accessibility of storage devices is disclosed. One embodiment of an apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory that stores code executable by the processor to acquire information related to physical accessibility for a plurality of data storage devices, each data storage device operably connected to a computing device. The code is further executable by the processor to classify the physical accessibility for each of the plurality of data storage devices based on the acquired information. Also, the code is executable by the processor to store data on a data storage device of the plurality of data storage devices based on the classified physical accessibility for the data storage device and sensitivity of the data. Further, data with a higher sensitivity is stored on a data storage device classified with a lower accessibility than data with a lower sensitivity.
