ABSTRACT:
A device and method for managing storage media is disclosed herein. The storage media is initially associated with a first set or a second set in the device. The device comprises a managing device for executing selectable storage rules. The selectable storage rules are for determining a first storage media, initially in the first set, to which data is to be stored. The managing device is also for executing selectable usage rules, wherein the selectable usage rules are for determining a second storage media, initially in the second set, to be transferred from the second set to the first set. The device also has a storage device in communication with the managing device adapted for transferring data to the first storage media in accordance with said selectable usage rules, so that when data is to be stored to the first storage media, the managing device applies the selectable storage rules for determining the first storage media and applies the selectable usage rules for determining the second storage media to be transferred from the second set to the first set.
