A Hierarchical RAID Architecture Towards Fast Recovery and High Reliability

Disk failures are very common in modern storage systems due to the large number of inexpensive disks. As a result, it takes a long time to recover a failed disk due to its large capacity and limited I/O. To speed up the recovery process and maintain …

DCS: Diagonal Coding Scheme for Enhancing the Endurance of SSD-Based RAID Arrays

To guarantee high reliability, solid-state drive (SSD)-based storage systems require data redundancy schemes, e.g., redundant array of independent disks (RAID) schemes. Traditional RAID-5, RAID-6, and Reed-Solomon codes can tolerate one, two, and an …

OI-RAID: A Two-Layer RAID Architecture towards Fast Recovery and High Reliability

A lot of inexpensive disks in modern storage systems induce frequent disk failures. It takes a long time to recover a failed disk due to its large capacity and limited I/O. This paper proposes a hierarchical architecture of erasure code, OI-RAID. …

Boosting Degraded Reads in Heterogeneous Erasure-Coded Storage Systems

Distributed storage systems provide large-scale data storage services, yet they are confronted with frequent node failures. To ensure data availability, a storage system often introduces data redundancy via replication or erasure coding. As erasure …

Single Disk Failure Recovery for X-Code-Based Parallel Storage Systems

In modern parallel storage systems (e.g., cloud storage and data centers), it is important to provide data availability guarantees against disk (or storage node) failures via redundancy coding schemes. One coding scheme is X-code, which is …

Stochastic Analysis on RAID Reliability for Solid-State Drives

Solid-state drives (SSDs) have been widely deployed in desktops and data centers. However, SSDs suffer from bit errors, and the bit error rate is time dependent since it increases as an SSD wears down. Traditional storage systems mainly use …
