Systems and methods for reducing power consumption and power leakage in hybrid storage clusters is provided. More specifically, the systems and methods for reducing power consumption select a particular cache (memory) technology in hybrid storage clusters based on performance requirements and/or other parameters associated with an application (file or process). The method can be implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The program instructions are operable to monitor access patterns of one or more applications in one or more memory technologies in a computing system. The program instructions are also operable to select a memory technology to store the one or more applications based on the access patterns of one or more applications.
