Abstract
A method for storing data may include receiving user data at a group of storage devices, wherein the storage devices are interconnected, erasure coding the user data into redundancy blocks at the group of storage devices, and storing the redundancy blocks on at least two of the storage devices. The erasure encoding may be distributed among at least two of the storage devices. The redundancy blocks may be arranged in reliability groups. The redundancy blocks may be grouped by the storage devices independently of the partitioning of the user data by the user. The method may further include recovering data based on redundancy blocks. A storage device may include a storage medium, a network interface configured to communicate with one or more other storage devices, and a storage processing unit configured to erasure code user data into redundancy blocks cooperatively with the one or more other storage devices.
