Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for high bandwidth fault tolerance in a storage system while the system, maintaining dual parity scheme, may tolerate the failure of more than one disk. An array controller may comprise a parity buffer sufficiently large enough to hold all of the parity blocks for an entire stripe of data. This may provide for high bandwidth fault tolerance without reading the source blocks twice while the dual parity values are calculated using two different/independent parity computations for a given stripe. Such a dual parity scheme may allow the storage system to tolerate the failure of more than one disk.
