A duplicate-aware disk array (DADA) leaves duplicated content on the disk array largely unmodified, instead of removing duplicated content, and then uses these duplicates to improve system performance, reliability, and availability of the disk array. Several implementations disclosed herein are directed to the selection of one duplicate from among a plurality of duplicates to act as the proxy for the other duplicates found in the disk array. Certain implementations disclosed herein are directed to scrubbing latent sector errors (LSEs) on duplicate-aware disk arrays. Other implementations are directed to disk reconstruction/recovery on duplicate-aware disk arrays. Yet other implementations are directed to load balancing on duplicate-aware disk arrays.
