ABSTRACT:
System(s) and method(s) that facilitate utilizing pre-cached disk space. Pre-cached memory space within a storage device is identified, and a subset of the pre-cached memory space is pre-populated with data so that the data can be selectively and dynamically accessed. During use of a computer (e.g., in a web-browsing session) a subset of the pre-stored data can be dynamically and selectively exposed to the user as a function of user and/or computer application state. Pre-storage of the data on pre-cached memory of the computer mitigates delayed data access (e.g., due to insufficient transmission bandwidth) thereby enhancing user computing experience. The user can utilize the device without having to distinguish between pre-cached and free memory. In other words, the operating system can present the cached memory to the user so that it appears as free memory without the user having to direct the system to do so.
