ABSTRACT:
One embodiment provides a method of providing a user with information quicker than could be achieved by obtaining the information from a storage source, the method comprising receiving a request from a user for stored data accessible by the user, the stored data maintained on one or more disks accessible one at a time and wherein the disks have a latency between the time of the request and the time the information is actually available, and obtaining a first portion of the requested data from a source other than where the requested data is stored, the amount of the first portion spanning the latency period.
