Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for accelerating the rebuilding of storage arrays. The method comprises identifying a failure of an original storage device that is a member of a storage array and reconstructing lost information that was on the original storage device onto one or more first storage devices based on information stored on one or more of remaining members of the storage array. Each of the one or more first storage devices has a higher I/O throughput than the original storage device.
