A storage system comprising:
- a plurality of storage nodes comprising storage memory;
- and
- a plurality of authorities associated with the storage nodes, the plurality of authorities controlling data and metadata of two or more logical storage arrays as a configuration of the plurality of storage nodes, wherein at least one of the plurality of storage nodes include differing types of solid state memory.
A storage system, comprising:
- a plurality of storage nodes comprising storage memory and a plurality of authorities greater in number than the plurality of storage nodes;
- and
- the plurality of storage nodes to:
- configure the plurality of storage nodes as two or more logical storage arrays;
- and
- control, by the plurality of authorities, data and metadata of the two or more logical storage arrays, wherein at least one of the plurality of storage nodes include differing types of solid state memory.
