Flashing Up the Storage Layer

Summary: Dual-storage hierarchy with flash and magnetic disks at the same level; page placement by workload (read on flash, write on magnetic). Self-tuning page placement and an asymmetry-aware buffer policy yield large I/O gains over single-media systems. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
