    Abstract: A method of applying an address space to data storage in a non-volatile solid-state storage is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of portions of user data for storage in the non-volatile solid-state storage and assigning to each successive one of the plurality of portions of user data one of a plurality of sequential, nonrepeating addresses of an address space. The address range of the address space exceeds a maximum number of addresses expected to be applied during a lifespan of the non-volatile solid-state storage. The method includes writing each of the plurality of portions of user data to the non-volatile solid-state storage such that each of the plurality of portions of user data is identified and locatable for reading via the one of the plurality of sequential, nonrepeating addresses of the address space.

The method includes determining health of a non-volatile memory of a non-volatile solid-state storage unit of each of a plurality of storage nodes in a storage cluster on a basis of per flash package, per flash die, per flash plane, per flash block, or per flash page. The determining is performed by the storage cluster. The plurality of storage nodes is housed within a chassis that couples the storage nodes as the storage cluster. The method includes adjusting erasure coding across the plurality of storage nodes based on the health of the non-volatile memory and distributing user data throughout the plurality of storage nodes through the erasure coding. The user data is accessible via the erasure coding from a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes if any of the plurality of storage nodes are unreachable.

    Abstract: A storage cluster is provided. The storage cluster includes a plurality of storage nodes, each of the plurality of storage nodes having nonvolatile solid-state memory and a plurality of operations queues coupled to the solid-state memory. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to distribute the user data and metadata throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes can access the user data with a failure of two of the plurality of storage nodes. Each of the plurality of storage nodes is configured to determine whether a read of 1 or more bits in the solid-state memory via a first path is within a latency budget. The plurality of storage nodes is configured to perform a read of user data or metadata via a second path, responsive to a determination that the read of the bit via the first path is not within the latency budget.
