Abstract
A data storage system and methods for managing data to be transferred between a host and a data volume distributed across solid state storage modules are disclosed. A storage controller couples the host to the data volume and manages data transfers to and from the logical volume. The storage controller receives a set of parameters that define how an array of blocks and chunks of buffered data will be distributed across solid state storage modules. The storage controller receives and buffers data to be stored and transfers the same when the capacity of the buffered data will fill a set of arranged stripes in the defined array in a single write operation.
