摘要： Provided are a disk array device (1, 40, 90, 110, 120) capable of reducing the manufacture load and management load of a logical board, and a disk array device capable of performing efficient cooling. Specifically, the former disk array device has a number of second logical boards constituted by functionally dividing in plural a first logical board (19) having formed thereon a circuit for controlling the input and output of data; and a case (10) for housing each of the second logical boards. This case houses each of the second logical boards so as to be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the second logical boards into the case and the thickness direction of the second logical boards. The latter disk array device (120) has a case (122) for housing each of the logical boards (19) so as to be arranged in the thickness direction of the logical board, and first and second cooling fans disposed respectively at the back end and front end of the case. The first and second cooling fans (131, 132) are disposed on both ends of a direction perpendicular to both the insertion direction of the logical board into the case and the thickness direction of the logical board so as to sandwich the logical board housed in the case.
