Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, is for performing internal striping within a subset of slices. The computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computer, a logical unit; splitting, by the computer, the logical unit into a plurality of data chunks; and distributing, by the computer, the plurality of data chunks across the subset of slices such that the plurality of data chunks are striped across the subset of slices, and striped across a plurality of physical partitions in each of the subset of slices. Moreover, each of the subset of slices correspond to a different physical storage module in a single storage device. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional embodiments.
