Abstract
A storage system comprising a plurality of storage devices and an associated storage controller. The plurality of storage devices are configured to store data blocks distributed across the plurality of storage devices in a plurality of data stripes. The plurality of data stripes comprise a first set of data stripes and a second set of data stripes. The storage controller is configured to receive data associated with at least one input-output request and to store the received data sequentially in at least one data stripe of the first set of data stripes. The controller is further configured to determine whether or not an amount of data stored in the first set of data stripes is greater than a threshold amount of data and in response to determining that the amount of data stored in the first set of data stripes is greater than the threshold amount of data, to destage the at least one data stripe of the first set of data stripes to the second set of data stripes.
