Dynamically restoring disks based on array properties

A method comprising modifying data scrub rates:

• determining, by one or more processors, a grouping for an array of a plurality of arrays based, at least in part, on a temperature for the array, a configurable threshold temperature range for the array, and an I/O distribution of the array, wherein determining a grouping of the array of a plurality of arrays comprises:
• determining a temperature of each array of the plurality of arrays, and
• determining I/O distribution of each array of the plurality;
• and
• modifying, by one or more processors, a data scrub rate for the array based, at least in part, on the grouping of the array, wherein modifying the data scrub rate of the array consists of:
• in response to the array being grouped as exceeding the configurable threshold temperature range, decreasing, by one or more processors, the data scrub rate of the array,
• in response to the array being grouped as within the configurable threshold temperature range, maintaining, by one or more processors, the data scrub rate of the array,
• in response to the array being grouped as below the configurable temperature threshold range, increasing, by one or more processors, the data scrub rate of the array,
• in response to the I/O distribution of the array being constant, maintaining, by one or more processors, the data scrub rate of the array,
• in response to the I/O distribution of the array decreasing, increasing, by one or more processors, the data scrub rate of the array, and
• in response to the grouping of the array as the I/O distribution increasing, restoring, by one or more processors, the data scrub rate of the array to a preconfigured rate by decreasing the data scrub rate of the array.
