ABSTRACT:
A computer storage system includes a controller and a storage device array. The storage device array may include a first sub-array and a fast storage device sub-array. The first sub-array includes one or more first storage devices storing data. The fast storage device sub-array includes one or more fast storage devices storing a copy of the data stored in the first sub-array.
