For efficient track destage in secondary storage in a more effective manner, for temporal bits employed with sequential bits for controlling the timing for destaging the track in a primary storage, if a first bit has at least one of a lower amount of holes and a hotter data heat metric, it is moved to the lower speed cache level. If the first bit has a hotter data heat and greater than a predetermined number of holes, the first bit is discarded.
