1. A method of operating a redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) system comprising a plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices, the method comprising: segmenting data to be stored on different ones of the plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices; and performing a plurality of write operations comprising a data striping scheme, the data striping scheme causing at least a first and second of the plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices perform a predetermined percentage of more write operations as compared to at least a third of the plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices thereby causing the at least third of the plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices to wear out after the first and second of the plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices, wherein the data striping scheme comprises one or more skipped write blocks configured to skip performing a write operation among the plurality of write operations on the third of the plurality of at least three low endurance flash based solid state devices.
