Abstract
A mass data storage system includes a redundancy manager that uses a physical position map to select a subset of storage resources having a physical distribution satisfying at least one resource distribution rule. The physical position map identifies physical positions of storage resources relative to a number of power supply units. A read/write manager writes data redundancies to select storage resources of the selected subset to provide a predetermined level of data protection that allows for reconstruction of lost data in a number of diverse circumstances.
