Abstract
A method for managing storage devices in a storage subsystem having an array of storage devices, according to one embodiment, includes determining that a storage device in an array of storage devices has failed. A first candidate storage device having storage device characteristics that match storage device characteristics of the failed storage device is identified. The first candidate storage device is exchanged with a second candidate storage device in response to determining that the second candidate storage device has storage device characteristics that are more similar to the storage device characteristics of the array of storage devices than the first candidate storage device.
