A storage element error module is configured to determine that one or more storage elements in an array of storage elements are in error. An array of storage elements stores a first ECC block and first parity data generated from the first ECC block. A data reconfiguration module is configured to generate a second ECC block comprising at least a portion of data of a first ECC block. A new configuration storage module is configured to store a second ECC block and associated second parity data on fewer storage elements than a number of storage elements in an array.“

The patent application was filed on May 23, 2014 (14/286,712).

Increase data integrity in redundant storage system
Intelligent Intellectual Property Holdings 2 LLC, Wilmington, DE, has been assigned a patent (9,304,853) developed by Thatcher, Jonathan, Liberty Lake, WA, Flynn, David, Sandy, UT, Aune, Joshua, South Jordan, UT, Fillingim, Jeremy, Salt Lake City, UT, Inskeep, Bill, West Valley City, UT, Strasser, John, Syracuse, UT, and Vigor, Kevin, Salt Lake City, UT, for a “apparatus, system, and method to increase data integrity in a redundant storage system.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”In various embodiments, an apparatus, system, and method may increase data integrity in a redundant storage system. In one embodiment, a request is received for data stored at a storage system having a plurality of storage elements, where one or more of the plurality of storage elements include parity information. A determination is made that one of the plurality of storage elements is unavailable, the unavailable storage element being a functional storage element and including at least a portion of the data. Responsive to the determination, the data is reconstructed based on at least a portion of the parity information and data from one or more of the plurality of storage elements other than the unavailable storage element, a response is provided to the request such that the response includes the reconstructed data.“
