ABSTRACT:
Exemplary systems and methods include pre-fetching data in response to a read cache hit. Various exemplary methods include priming a read cache with initial data, and triggering a read pre-fetch operation in response to a read cache hit upon the initial data in the read cache. Another exemplary implementation includes a storage device having a read cache and a trigger module that causes a pre-fetch of data from a mass storage medium in response to a read cache hit upon data in the read cache.
