Utilizing multiple redundancy schemes within a unified storage element, including: receiving, in a storage system at a unified storage element that integrates both fast durable storage and bulk durable storage, a data storage operation from a host computer; storing, in accordance with a first data resiliency technique that corresponds to a RAID N+R format, data corresponding to the data storage operation within the fast durable storage of the unified storage element; and responsive to determining that the complete RAID stripe has been written to the fast durable storage, moving a portion of the stored data from the fast durable storage to the bulk durable storage of the unified storage element, the bulk durable storage storing the data in accordance with a second data resiliency technique that corresponds to a RAID M+R format, wherein M is different from N.
