Abstract
Providing for increased flexibility for large scale parity, the including: writing data to a storage system, including utilizing a first data protection scheme; identifying, for storage media in the storage system, characteristics of the storage media; identifying, in dependence up the characteristics for the storage media, a second data protection scheme to use for the data; and writing the data to the to the storage system utilizing the second data protection scheme.

1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- determining a data protection scheme using failure characteristics of storage media identified by a likelihood of failure associated with one or more failure types;
- and
- storing, using the data protection scheme, valid data that was previously stored using another data protection scheme.
A storage system comprising a plurality of solid-state storage devices, a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the storage system to carry out the steps of:
- determining a data protection scheme using failure characteristics of storage media identified by a likelihood of failure associated with one or more failure types;
- and
- storing, using the data protection scheme, valid data that was previously stored using another data protection scheme.
A computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:
- determining a data protection scheme using failure characteristics of storage media identified by a likelihood of failure associated with one or more failure types;
- and
- storing, using the data protection scheme, valid data that was previously stored using another data protection scheme.
