    摘要: A RAID apparatus includes a plurality of recording devices, a first adaptor connected to a first interface which is connected to a high-level apparatus, a controller for controlling processing of data transmitted by the high-level apparatus, and a second adaptor that connects to a second interface connected to a plurality of recording devices. The controller has a first memory area in which said data are stored, a second memory area used for a write-back of the data in said plurality of recording devices, a write-back information control unit controlling a write-back type of data stored in the first memory area and a usage state of the second memory area, a write-back data determination unit for determination of data to be written-back based on the write-back information, and a write-back execution unit for executing a write-back of the data to be written back on the plurality of recording devices.

    摘要: A device adaptor that controls a disk, wherein a storage area is divided into a plurality of blocks, detects a block that includes a read error. Next, the device adaptor detects a write omission in blocks that are within a predetermined range from the block that includes the read error. To be specific, the device adaptor reads data from the blocks that are in the vicinity of the block that includes the unrecovered read error in a suspect disk. Next, the device adaptor reads from a redundant disk, data of a block that corresponds to the block that includes the unrecovered read error (data of block “B” in an example shown in FIG. 1) and compares the read data to the data read from the suspect disk to detect the write omission.
