A method that includes calculating multiple set parity units for multiple sets of data units that are cached in a storage system thereby providing a group of units that includes multiple sets of units. Each set of units includes a set of data units and at least one associated set parity unit that facilitate a reconstruction of the set of units when a first number of units of the set of units is lost. Calculating at least one group parity unit for the group of units. A combination of the at least one group parity unit and at least one associated set parity unit facilitate a reconstruction of the set of units upon a failure of a second number of units of the set of units. The second number of units of the set of units exceeds the first number of units of the set of units. Destaging the group of units and the at least one group parity unit to multiple disks of the storage system.
