Virtual drive for manage short and long term storage

Hi,

How can I manage as virtual drive or similar in a windows system, a bundle of drives (SATA and SSD) works as only one drive that internally sort the files directly short-term storage in a SSD disk and after some weeks move to big SATA disk in transparent mode (In fact, the path for the files can't be changed)

The question is that we have a windwows application that works with files, and we want to improve the performance using as short term storage for the new files will be saved into the SSD disk and after some weeks move to a long term storage into  SATA disks array, but using always a unique virtual drive (Because the windows application store the path of each file and can't be changed)

Any suggestion?

Regards

Many San/nas appliances have these features but most of them are $$$. How much storage do you need and what kind of budget do you have?

We want to have a SSD 256 GB for short-term and RAID about 6TB for long term

The budget will always a problem, but I want to know more about this technology.

Thanks
