Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: storing data associated with a workload in a first composite array of data storage devices configured as a redundant array of inexpensive disks configured at a first level; and automatically storing the data associated with the workload in a second composite array of data storage devices in response to predicting failure of one of the data storage devices in the first composite array, wherein the second composite array is a redundant array of inexpensive disks configured at a second level that is different than the first level, wherein storing the data associated with the workload in a second composite array of data storage devices in response to predicting failure of one of the data storage devices, includes converting the first composite array into the second composite array, and wherein the second composite array has a higher resilience than the first composite array.
