Parity Striping of Disc Arrays: Low-Cost Reliable Storage with Acceptable Throughput
Summary: Introduces parity striping, which stripes parity but not data to achieve mirror-like random-request throughput and latency at RAID5-like storage cost. It trades RAID’s transfer bandwidth for throughput, while improving fault containment and software simplicity. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
