Methods and systems for an enhanced restripe mechanism are provided. A system for an enhanced restriping mechanism includes a data storage module that stripes data across a plurality of storage devices, wherein the plurality of storage devices are arranged into a plurality of storage pools and the data is distributed across the plurality of storage pools. Also, the system may include a movement detection module that detects changes in the arrangement of the plurality of storage devices that would cause the data on a storage device in the plurality of storage devices to be moved onto other storage devices in the plurality of storage devices. Further, the system may include a restriping module that restripes disk data from the storage device in the plurality of storage devices onto the other storage devices in response to the detected change based on access characteristics of the data.
