Abstract
A technique manages data within a storage array. The technique involves forming a hybrid tier within the storage array, the hybrid tier including SSD storage and HDD storage. The technique further involves, after the hybrid tier is formed, providing hybrid ubers (or Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) extents) from the SSD storage and the HDD storage of the hybrid tier. The technique further involves, after the hybrid ubers are provided, accessing the hybrid ubers to perform data storage operations.
