Comparing Rebuild Algorithms for Mirrored and RAID5 Disk Arrays
Summary: Comparative study of rebuild algorithms for mirrored vs RAID5 disk arrays; analyzes Read Redirection and Piggybacking. Mirrored arrays sustain ~150% higher rebuild IOPS; Read Redirection improves mirrored rebuild times vs Piggybacking, while scaled RAID5 shows up to 60% lower latency and 45% faster rebuilds.
