Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for storing data wherein pieces of data are selectively combined at times when a storage device is not able to accept requests to store data for a duration sufficient that multiple additional pieces of data have been received since the last request to store data was made and at least two of those pieces of data are able to be combined into a piece of data that is better configured for storage.
