Abstract
A processing device identifies a plurality of solid state storage devices arranged in an array and determines, for at least one solid state storage device of the plurality of solid state storage devices, a first time window during which the at least one solid state storage device is permitted to perform one or more garbage collection operations. The processing device then sends, to the at least one solid state storage device, a message comprising the first time window allocated to the at least one storage device, wherein the at least one solid state storage device is to perform the garbage collection operations during the first time window allocated to the at least one solid state storage device.
