Adaptec
Adaptec, Inc., was a computer storage company and remains a brand for computer storage products.
Bcache
bcache (abbreviated from block cache) is a cache in the Linux kernel's block layer, which is used for accessing secondary storage devices. Hybrid array and Bcache are solid-state caching.
Cache (computing)
In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.
