Array type disc drive mechanism system and nethod

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To logically constitute an array-type disk driving mechanism system as one complete disk mechanism containing all individual disk driving mechanisms in an array-type disk driving mechanism by operating the redundancy from a zero level to plural levels on data which are read/written from/to the array-type disk driving mechanism. CONSTITUTION: The array 12 of the disk driving mechanisms 14 supplying a storage device to a computer 32 is provided. The disk driving mechanisms arranged in the array are accessed from plural channels and the respective channels access to the plural disk driving mechanisms. The disk control means for controlling the logic constitution of the disk driving mechanisms arranged in the array so that it can be viewed as the array of optional disk driving mechanisms which are considered as the array is provided. The disk control means which enables the operation on data which is read or written from the array-type disk driving mechanism at levels from the zero level to the plural redundant levels. Thus, the disk driving mechanism can logically be constituted.
