1. A method to detect non-volatile (NV) write request sequences, the method comprising: receiving a write request that identifies data be written to a solid-state device that includes non-volatile memory; determining whether the write request is part of a NV write request sequence that includes a plurality of write requests or is not part of the NV write request sequence; in response to a determination that the write request is part of the NV write request sequence, associating the write request with the NV write request sequence, wherein data associated with the NV write request sequence is written to the non-volatile memory; and in response to a determination that the write request is not part of the NV write request sequence, writing the data identified by the write request to a cache that is coupled to the non-volatile memory.
