Abstract
A method and system for transferring data from mass storage devices to the high speed data cache in a manner that imposes minimal overhead to the normal input/output mechanism and minimizes the load placed on the device being cached is disclosed herein. Minimizing the load placed on the slower device and minimizing the overhead of processing input/output requests results in optimal performance.
