Abstract

See full text

A data storage system includes data storage and random access memory. A sorting module is communicatively coupled to the random access memory and is configured to sort data blocks of incoming write data received in the random access memory. A storage controller is communicatively coupled to the random access memory and the data storage and is configured to write the sorted data blocks as individually-sorted data block sets to a staging area of the data storage. A method and processor-implemented process provide for sorting data blocks of incoming write data received in a random access memory of data storage and writing the sorted data blocks as individually-sorted data block sets to a staging area of the data storage.
