ABSTRACT:
A method and system for servicing read requests directed to a storage medium by reordering the read requests when advantageous to do so and when the read requests can be serviced in a time-sensitive manner is provided. A reorder system determines whether it would be advantageous to reorder an identified read request that is currently scheduled to be serviced before another read request and whether there is enough time to service the other read request before servicing the identified read request. If there is enough time and it would be advantageous, the reorder system reorders the read requests so that the other read request is serviced before the identified read request.
