    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates determining a first subset of a plurality drives having a first zone size and a second subset of the plurality of drives having a second zone size different from the first zone size, within a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) group. A prevailing zone size between the first zone size and the second zone size is determined. One or more logical zones within the determined first subset of the plurality of drives and the determined second subset of the plurality of drives for a received input-output operation is reserved based on the determined prevailing zone size. The received input-output operation is completed within the reserved one or more logical zones within the determined first subset of the plurality of drives and the determined second subset of the plurality of drives.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for a storage environment are provided, including generating a plurality of child (or tetris) write requests to write data for a write request using a plurality of subdivisions of a plurality of logical zones defined for a plurality of zoned solid state drives (ZNS SSDs) of a RAID array, each LZone mapped to one or more logical RAID zone (RZone) of the ZNS SSDs having a plurality of physical zones across a plurality of independent media units of each ZNS SSD; assigning a sequence number to each child (or tetris) write request corresponding to each subdivision, the sequence number indicating an order in which the child (or tetris) write requests are to be processed; and selecting, based on the assigned sequence number, one or more subdivisions for sequentially writing data to one or more RZones of the plurality of ZNS SSDs.
