Abstract
A RAID controller may update a RAID array by receiving updated data for a first data strip in a set of data strips in the RAID array. The RAID controller may then determine that the first data strip is stored on a device that is experiencing a slow condition. The RAID controller may then force, based on the determining, a promoted stripe write.
