1. A hybrid solid state drive (SSD) apparatus comprising: an interface configured for receiving data transfer commands from a host computing device, each of the received data transfer commands includes either a data read or a data write request; a single-level cell (SLC) flash memory array; a multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory array; a micro-controller configured for controlling the interface, the SLC flash memory array and MLC flash memory array, the micro-processor extracts particular characteristics of a data file associated with said each of the received data transfer commands, and then, based on the particular characteristics for the data write request, a memory selection indicator is determined by triaging the data file to be stored in either the SLC flash memory array or the MLC flash memory array based on one or more criteria; and an address mapping memory, coupling to the micro-controller, configured to correlate logical block address (LBA) of the data file to a physical block address (PBA) associated with one of the SLC flash memory array and the MLC flash memory array according to the memory selection indicator.
