Abstract
A storage processor identifies latency of memory drives for different numbers of concurrent storage operations. The identified latency is used to identify debt limits for the number of concurrent storage operations issued to the memory drives. The storage processor may issue additional storage operations to the memory devices when the number of storage operations is within the debt limit. Storage operations may be deferred when the number of storage operations is outside the debt limit.
