1. A method of managing throughput of redundant array of independent disk (RAID) groups in a storage system, the method comprising:

  • determining the number of RAID groups located within the storage system of one or more of the RAID groups, a RAID group comprising multiple disks that appear to be a single device to a user, each disk having associated therewith a configurable plurality of PCIe lanes;

    calculating throughput requirements for each RAID group based on the determined number of RAID groups;

    configuring each of the RAID groups to meet the calculated throughput requirements;

    configuring the one or more RAID groups based on the determined number of one or more RAID groups;

    adding one or more RAID groups to the storage system; and

    upon adding one or more RAID groups, re-configuring the PCIe lanes of at least one of the disks of the currently-employed one or more RAID groups.
