Abstract
A storage element pending command queue prioritization system using multiple pending queues each assigned to a particular RAID command type. Pending commands from each of the queues are organized in such a way that lower priority commands are guaranteed a fixed amount of storage element bandwidth. Storage element throughput is optimized by limiting higher priority commands to a maximum service level and processing lower priority requests with the added storage element bandwidth, allowing lower priority requests to exceed their minimum service levels.
