    Abstract: A storage system periodically replicates data to another storage system for data backup and protection. The storage system is configured to detect an irregularity potentially causing a fault in the storage system. Such a detected irregularity may a component failure in a storage device, a temperature change in a storage device, etc. In response to the detected irregularity, the storage system increases a replication rate of data to the backup storage system.

    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide a method and system for detecting slow storage drives. In one implementation, the method includes dynamically creating a storage drive peer group including a plurality of storage drives, comparing performance statistics of the storage drives in the storage drive peer group, selecting an outlier storage drive of the storage drive peer group based on the comparison of the performance statistics, passively monitoring response times of the storage drives in the storage drive peer group, comparing average response times of the storage drives in the storage drive peer group, flagging an outlier storage drive of the storage drive peer group with an outlier storage drive designation responsive to comparison of the average response times, actively measuring workload metrics of the outlier storage drive, comparing workload metrics data of the outlier storage drive to workload metrics reference data, and performing a remedial action.

    Abstract: In accordance with one implementation, a method for adaptive in-field recalibration includes detecting a potential environmental disturbance for a first storage node in a mass storage system based on an indicator external to the first storage node, and initiating a recalibration of an operational parameter of the first storage node responsive to the detection.
