Abstract
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for storing data within a hybrid storage aggregate comprising a solid state storage tier and a non-solid state storage tier. In particular, frequently accessed data and/or randomly accessed data may be identified and stored within the solid state storage tier to mitigate mechanical latency that may arise from accessing such data from the non-solid state storage tier. Infrequently accessed data and/or sequentially accessed data may be identified and stored within the non-solid state storage tier to utilize cost effective storage space while mitigating undesirable mechanical latency associated with accessing such data.
