A portion of the shared global memory of a storage array is allocated for write-only blocks. Writes to a same-block of a production device may be accumulated in the allocated portion of memory. Temporal sequencing may be associated with each accumulated version of the same-block. When idle processing resources become available, the oldest group of same-blocks may be consolidated based on the temporal sequencing. The consolidated block may then be destaged to cache slots or managed drives. A group of same-blocks may also be consolidated in response to a read command.
