  comment = {He compares a RAID-5 disk array with a log-structured array (LSA).
  An LSA is essentially an implementation of a log-structured file system
  inside a disk controller. The disk controller buffers up writes in a
  non-volatile cache; when the outgoing data buffer is full, it is written to
  some large contiguous region of the disk. The controller manages a directory
  to keep track of the various segment locations, and does garbage collection
  (cleaning). They can insert a compression algorithm in front of the cache so
  that they get better cache and disk utilization by storing data in compressed
  form. for fair comparison they compare with a similar feature in the plain
  RAID5 array.}
