Abstract
A method, according to one approach, includes: receiving a compute request that corresponds to drive strips in a RAID array, and determining strip hash values that correspond to the respective drive strips. Drives in the RAID array that include one or more of the strip hash values are identified, and one of the identified drives is selected to conduct the compute request. The method also includes identifying one or more of the strip hash values that are not included in the selected drive. Strip data associated with the strip hash values identified as not being in the selected drive are read from other ones of the identified drives. Moreover, the strip data read from the other ones of the identified drives are written into spare storage space of the selected drive. The method further includes causing the selected drive to perform the compute request on the strip data therein.
