Despite the fact that Solid State Disk (SSD) storage media had offered a revolutionary property storages community, but the unavailability of a comprehensive video allocation strategy in these storage media, had leads to gluttonous consumption of t he available space, decreasing the life span among intensive random writing processes, time-consuming reading processes, and unqualified system resources consumption. In order to overcome these challenges, an efficient video allocation algorithm is a

... desirable and necessary option. In this paper, the authors developed a new video allocation algorithm for flash-based SSDs storage media systems. The Cost Benefit economic concept had been adopted in constructing and developing this algorithm. We called it Cost Benefit Processor (CBP) algorithm. For clarification purposes, the authors had reviewed the internal architecture of it. Some of the default video allocation scenarios are also been discussed. The proposed algorithm had been compared with another allocation algorithm. The comparison results showed the decreasing in both the number of requested blocks and the number of active blocks. 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
