摘要： With respect to the disk drives provided power from a single power source in a disk drive system, start up power is first supplied to a first start-up group of the disks, preferably comprising all of the master disks, with the size of the group being selected so that the required current does not exceed the capacity of the power source. When the disk drives of the first group have substantially reached steady state, start-up is conducted with respect to a second start-up group of the disk drives so that the current required during start-up for the second group and the current required for steady state drive of the first start-up group does not exceed the capacity of the power source. With respect to each start-up group, the number of disk drives is the maximum integer value and decreases or remains the same with respect to subsequent start-up groups. When simultaneously transferring subdivided data in parallel to all of the disk drives of a parity group, respectively, seek operations in such a system are prevented from occurring simultaneously by offsetting the indices on the disks, by varying the seek operation start timing or by varying the head addresses for the start of reading and writing, all within one revolution, but the seek operations are ended at the same time, to reduce peak current requirements of the power source.

摘要： An error correction circuit which includes a specification circuit for specifying erroneous portions in a first data set reproduced from a recording medium, a register for storing the reproduced first data set including the erroneous portions thus specified and a reproducing circuit responsive to the reproduced first data set for reproducing again the first data set from the recording medium to obtain retry data, when there exist erroneous portions in the reproduced first data set stored in the register. The correction circuit also includes a data replace circuit, connected to receive the retry data, for replacing information at the specified erroneous portions in the reproduced first data set stored in the register by information at corresponding portions in the retry data.

摘要： A data storage system connectable to a host unit which issues data read/write requests to the data storage system, and which includes a plurality of disc units, and a controller connected to the disc units. A fault can occur in any of the disc units. The disc units store data in a plurality of data groups and error correcting data corresponding to each of the data groups. The controller, operable in different modes, performs processing of reconstructing data stored in any of the disc units in which a fault has occurred based on all other data belonging to any of the data groups to which the data to be reconstructed belongs and error correcting data corresponding to any of the data groups to which the data to be reconstructed belongs, and performs processing of data read/write requests from the host unit.
