Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for filtering input/output operations of a flash drive, an input/output request directed toward a flash drive is received. It is determined whether the input/output request is associated with a high volume write operation. If the input/output request is associated with the high volume write operation, a flash drive input/output management action to perform is selected. If the input/output request is not associated with the high volume write operation, the input/output request is forwarded to the flash drive.
