Abstract
A method is used for managing degraded storage elements in data storage systems. A storage element experiencing degradation is identified where the storage element is a member of a first RAID group of storage elements. A first slice of data associated with the storage element is identified. The first slice of data is copied to a second RAID group of storage elements.
