I am not aware of such books, but to develop deep understanding one
probably needs long path.
1. How memory/cache/hdd (ssd/nvme not covered) works: h
ttps://www.amazon.com/Memory-Systems-Cache-DRAM-Disk-ebook/dp/B00BXETR06
2. General understanding of PC architecture:
https://www.mindshare.com/Books/Titles/ISA_System_Architecture_(3rd_Edition)
3. SATA: https://www.mindshare.com/Books/Titles/SATA_Storage_Technology
4. How Linux kernel works (VFS, Ext3, cache, etc):
https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Linux-Kernel-Third-Daniel/dp/0596005652
5. How SSD works:

If you need short path, try any fio tutorial (``fio`` is **nix tool to
measure IO performance).
