ABSTRACT:
The illustrative embodiments described herein provide an apparatus and method for managing data in a hybrid drive system. In one embodiment, a process determines whether the detachable memory contains clean data in response to identifying that a cache portion of a detachable memory is unavailable. The clean data does not require a disk to be in a spin state to be removed from the detachable memory. The process removes the clean data from the detachable memory in response to determining that the detachable memory contains the clean data. The process stores the data on the detachable memory.
