SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A MASS DATA STORAGE SYSTEM HAVING A FILE-BASED INTERFACE TO A HOST AND A NON-FILE-BASED INTERFACE TO SECONDARY STORAGE
System and method for transferring data between a host system and a data storage system is provided. The system includes an interface that uses a file based protocol to transfer data between the data storage system and the host system, wherein the data storage system includes a first mass storage device and a second mass storage device; wherein the first mass storage device is a solid state non-volatile memory device and the second mass storage device is a non-solid state memory device. The first mass storage device is a flash memory device that operates as a primary storage device that stores data on a file by file basis. The second mass storage device is a magnetic disk drive that operates as secondary storage device and stores data received via a logical interface.
