A method and system for improving data migration from source data stripes to destination stripes in a Redundant Array of Independent Drives (RAID) logical drive migration (LDM). The invention describes a procedure for checkpointing data migrations, so that if the system should fail in the middle of the LDM, the computer can resume the LDM from the last checkpointed destination stripes, thus ensuring accurate tracking of data location. Further, the invention also provides the capability of properly checkpointing a data write to a stripe according to whether or not the stripe unit has been migrated previously.
