Abstract
An amount of data to be pre-fetched during read operations is adaptively modified based upon the experience of previous reads. If previous reads were terminated before all the data desired was obtained, subsequent read amounts may be increased. The initial amount of pre-fetched data may be pre-set or modified dynamically.
