Non-volatile storage device offloading in a multi-data node environment

A method, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of data segments from a compute node via an interface;
• determining at least one intermediate parity based on performing at least one XOR operation of the plurality of data segments, the at least one intermediate parity being stored in at least one device buffer of a first storage device;
• transmitting the at least one intermediate parity of the at least one device buffer to at least one parity storage device, wherein the at least one intermediate parity corresponds to one of a plurality of intermediate parities used to determine at least one partial parity of a redundant array of independent disk (RAID) volume;
• and
• storing the plurality of data segments in at least the first storage device and a second storage device.

At least one non-transitory processor-readable medium comprising processor-readable instructions, such that, when executed by a processor of a first storage device, causes the processor to:

• receive a plurality of data segments from a compute node via an interface;
• determine at least one intermediate parity based on performing at least one XOR operation of the plurality of data segments, the at least one intermediate parity being stored in at least one device buffer of the first storage device;
• transmit the at least one intermediate parity of the at least one device buffer to at least one parity storage device, wherein the at least one intermediate parity corresponds to one of a plurality of intermediate parities used to determine at least one partial parity of a redundant array of independent disk (RAID) volume;
• and
• store the plurality of data segments in at least the first storage device and a second storage device.
