Abstract
Provided are a storage device, system, and method for performance enhancing measures for storage in which high-performance volumes reside. Indication is made of a volume configured in the arrays to have high-performance. An array is determined storing the indicated volume. A determination is made of storage devices in which the determined array resides. The storage devices are enabled to perform garbage collection on blocks of data having valid and invalid pages in the storage devices at a first garbage collection rate and a second garbage collection rate. The second garbage collection rate causes a storage device to perform garbage collection with respect to a greater number of blocks than the first garbage collection rate. A command is sent to the determined storage devices to garbage collect at the second garbage collection rate.
