    摘要: An array of disk drives stores information which is accessed through multiple channels by a host computer. Different channels are coupled to different sequences of disk drives. Different disk drives can be accessed simultaneously through different channels, enabling high data transfer rates. The same disk drive can be accessed through two different channels, enabling access even if one of the channels is busy or malfunctioning. According to one aspect of the invention the channels are divided into at least two mutually exclusive sets of channels, each set providing access to all the disk drives.

    摘要: A recording device which improves a response time to write data by reporting to a host computer (1) the completion of writing operation prior to the completion of writing redundancy data. Data writing command imformation from the host computer is stored in a command/status memory (14) backed up by a power source (16) in an array controller (13), and the completion of writing operation is reported to the host computer at the time of the completion of writing updated data prior to the completion of writing redundancy data. Redundancy data is written as a background process. If redundancy data could not be written due to any abnormality of the power source or the like, such redundancy data may be generated from the data in other disk units of the same redundancy group in accordance with writing command information stored in the command/status memory, thereby completing the writing of redundancy data.
