1. A storage system, comprising:
a first storage tier and a second storage tier, the first storage tier including a first storage device including a first storage and a first controller, the second storage tier including a second storage device including a second storage and a second controller;
a metadata storage to store a metadata for a data stored in the first storage tier, the metadata including a location in the first storage tier where the data is stored;
a receiver to receive from a host a request to access the data;
retrieval software to be executed by a processor to retrieve the data from the first storage tier based at least in part on the location in the first storage tier where the data is stored; and
a transmitter to transmit the data to the host.
