Misaligned IO sequence data deduplication (dedup)

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to data deduplication (dedup) techniques for storage arrays. In embodiments, a sequence of input/output (IO) operations in an IO stream received from one or more host devices by a storage array are identified. Additionally, a determination can be made as to whether a set of previously received IO operations match the identified IO sequence based on a time series relationship between the identified IO sequence and the previously received IO operations. Further, one or more data deduplication (dedup) techniques can be performed on the matching IO sequence.
