Full-stripe writes
When writes to the logical drive are sequential or when multiple random writes that accumulate in the flash-backed write cache are
found to be sequential, a full-stripe write operation can be performed. A full-stripe write allows the controller to calculate new parity
using new data being written to the drives. There is almost no write penalty because the controller does not need to read old data from
the drives to calculate the new parity. As the size of the array grows larger, the write penalty is reduced by the ratio of p / n where p is
the number of parity drives and n is the total number of drives in the array.
This method has the benefit of faster RAID 5, 6, or 60 sequential writes.
