    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system may include a storage array and a controller. The storage array may include a plurality of storage resources, where each storage resource of the plurality of storage resources may include plurality of active storage drives and a plurality of hot spare drives. The controller, coupled to the storage array, may be configured to generate a mapping of the location of hot spare drives in the plurality of storage resources; detect a failure in an active storage drive in a first storage resource of the plurality of storage resources; using at least the map, select a hot spare drive in a second storage resource for rebuilding the active storage drive in the first storage resource; and provide the selected hot spare drive in the second storage resource to rebuild the failed active storage drive in the first storage resource.
