An exemplary storage network and methods of operation are disclosed which make use of data consistent internal mirrors within a storage device. The exemplary storage network comprises first, second, and third storage cells, each of which include physical storage media and a storage controller that controls data operations with the storage media. The storage controllers are configured such that, in operation, write operations executed on the first storage cell are copied remotely in an ordered sequence to a cache memory in the second storage cell, write operations in the cache memory are mirrored onto a primary and secondary storage media in the second storage cell, and write operations mirrored to the secondary storage media are copied remotely to the third storage cell.
