Abstract

A request is received to store a file in a storage device, wherein the storage device deems the file discardable. The file is marked as a discardable file. A controller determines a download condition associated with the request to store the discardable file in the storage device and determines whether to delay a download to the storage device of the discardable file based on the determined download condition. The controller manages the download of the discardable file to the storage device based on the determination of whether to delay the download of the discardable file to the storage device. The controller manages the storage of the downloaded discardable file in the storage device based on the marking of the file as a discardable file.
