Abstract

The invention discloses a method for storing data and a device of implementing the same. The method comprises receiving a request for storing data sent by a user and storing the data to an SSD according to the received request. The device comprises a request receiving module used to receive the request storing data and an SSD storage module used to store the data to an SSD according to the received request. The invention ensures consistency of data storage by storing data to an SSD according to the received request, thereby reducing data redundancy caused by using a cache layer to cache the data in the prior art. Additionally, the use of a single layer of an SSD to store data avoids the need of reloading data in the cache layer once a machine is power-down, thereby reducing the complexity of system design and the cost of operation and maintenance.
