ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for storage devices are presented. More specifically, in one embodiment a storage device may comprise an enclosure comprising an interface which may be coupled to an I/O bus of a computing system with which it is being utilized. Commands may be received through the interface and, invisibly to the computing system which issues the commands, translated into a set of commands configured to effectuate the received command in conjunction with one or more storage media coupled to the interface. These storage media may comprise different types of storage media such that data designated as critical may be stored on an appropriate storage media.
