System-Level Error Correction Coding Allocation Based On Device Population Data Integrity Sharing

A dynamic scalable error correction coding (ECC) scheme for a data storage system involves a system controller predicting a type and/or amount of ECC needed to reconstruct data to be stored on a particular data storage device(s) based on operational data integrity information accessed from the array...

Summary:A dynamic scalable error correction coding (ECC) scheme for a data storage system involves a system controller predicting a type and/or amount of ECC needed to reconstruct data to be stored on a particular data storage device(s) based on operational data integrity information accessed from the array of data storage devices. Thus, redundancy does not need to be allocated unless required. The devices may be logically grouped into subsets according to common characteristics, whereby the prediction made for a device in a subset may be based on the data integrity information from that subset, as well as from other relevant subsets.
