Abstract
A data storage apparatus includes a command processor that receives write commands and data blocks from a host, the write commands comprising block ID's (BID) corresponding to data blocks; storage resources including semiconductor memory and mass storage; a data manager that selects storage resources and allocates selected resources to block ID's; a translation table to map a storage resource to the allocated block ID, and storage resources that are selected after receipt of the write command. A method is further provided for increasing performance in a storage device comprising a plurality of storage resources, transferring data to a storage resource that is available to transfer the data.
