If one die fails in a ten-chip stripe, only the failed die is bypassed, and then data is restriped across the remaining nine chips. No system rebuild needed! VSR reduces maintenance intervals caused by Flash failures … … 16 Planes 10 Chips FAIL Unique Business Benefit: Fewer Flash Module Replacements RAID Group
