Abstract
Embodiments provide systems and methods for adjusting to drive specific criteria. Data blocks sent to a drive may be padded to a constant size over a period to ensure optimal drive performance. Systems for padding data blocks to a constant size over a period may include padding logic which may pad data blocks addressed to a drive to a constant size over a period. The padding logic may be contained in an appliance located upstream of the drive in a network. The appliance may be operable to intercept data blocks addressed to the drive over a period, pad the data blocks to a constant size and forward the data blocks to the drive such that the drive receives data blocks of a constant size over a period.
