Further, the drive manager identifies an application frequently retrieving data from the one or more storage drives and further determines one or more memory locations in the one or more storage drive from where the data is retrieved frequently. Thereafter, the data present in the one or more memory locations are stored in a temporary storage and is provided to the application during a future data retrieval cycle. Thus, the application may not retrieve data from the one or more storage drives. Hence, the lifecycle of the one or more storage drives can be increased.”
