ABSTRACT:
In a computer system utilizing an array disk for an external storage device, an array controller arranged between a host computer and disk unit group has a main controller for controlling the array disk; a buffer for temporarily buffering data transferred between the host computer and the disk units; a parity data generator for generating parity data; and an interface controller for controlling interfaces connecting the host computer with the disk units. The buffer has memories for storing transfer requested data and parity data as previous data and previous parity data, respectively. The array controller also has memory management information for managing the memories.
