An arrayed disk drive system for providing memory to a computer, said arrayed system having a plurality of disk drives configured to form an array, said arrayed disk drives accessed by a plurality of channels, each channel accessing a plurality of disk drives, including a means for controlling the logical configuration of the arrayed disk drives to appear to the computer as any conceivable arrangement of disk drives, whereby the arrayed disk drive may appear to the computer as the plurality of disk drives, or as one large disk drive comprised of all the arrayed disk drives, or any combination in between. A means for providing a plurality of levels of redundancy on data read or written by the computer to the arrayed disk drives is provided, as well as means controlled by the controlling means for enabling from none to the plurality of levels of redundancy to operate on data being read or written from the arrayed disk drives.

Système à unités de disque matricielles fournissant de la mémoire à un ordinateur. Le système est constitué d'un regroupement de plusieurs unités de disque accessibles par plusieurs canaux, chaque canal donnant accès à plusieurs unités de disques matricielles, ainsi que de mécanismes régissant la configuration logique des unités pour qu'elles apparaissent à l'ordinateur comme n'importe quel arrangement possible d'unités de disques, soit comme un ensemble d'unités de disques ou comme une seule unité de disques regroupant toutes les unités de disques matricielles, ou comme toute autre combinaison possible. L'invention comprend également un dispositif capable de fournir à plusieurs unités de disques matricielles plusieurs niveaux de redondance des données lues ou enregistrées par l'ordinateur, ainsi que des mécanismes contrôlés par des dispositifs de commande fournissant aucun ou plusieurs niveaux de redondance en vue du traitement des données lues ou enregistrées à partir des unités de disques matricielles.
