摘要:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting and replacing failed data storage. A read module reads data from an array of memory devices. The array includes two or more memory devices and one or more extra memory devices storing parity information from the memory devices. An ECC module determines, using an error correcting code (“ECC”), if one or more errors exist in tested data and if the errors are correctable using the ECC. The tested data includes data read by the read module. An isolation module selects a memory device in response to the ECC module determining that errors exists in the data read by the read module and that the errors are uncorrectable using the ECC. The isolation module also replaces data read from the selected memory device with replacement data and available data wherein the tested data includes the available data combined with the replacement data.
