Abstract

A method of dynamically varying transfer size in a storage device for improved performance may include receiving, by a processor, a plurality of data transfer parameters. The data transfer parameters may be compared against disk characterization data associated with a Solid State Disk, which is the target of a data transfer request. A data transfer size may be selected from the disk characterization data, based on the compared data transfer parameters. The data transfer request may be modified to use the selected data transfer size. The data transfer request is completed using the modified data transfer parameters.
