Methods and systems for a storage environment are provided. One method includes copying a data unit from a first temporary storage location corresponding to each zoned solid-state drive (ZNS SSD) of a first ZNS SSD set of a storage system to a first XOR module, while determining a first partial horizontal parity using the data unit stored in the first temporary storage location; and determining a vertical parity for each ZNS SSD of the first ZNS SSD set using the data unit provided to the first XOR module in a current cycle and vertical parity determined from a previous cycle.
