Stripes are formed across a RAID group, data to be written is saved in a non-volatile buffer until enough data for a full strip is received, (without any restriction about logical address of data), full stripes are sent and written to paSSDs comprising the RAID group, accordingly the partial stripe read-modify-write is avoided.“
