ABSTRACT:
A disc array includes a plurality of disc drives each having a magnetic disc for storing information, and a drive controller for accessing information on the disc. The drive controller performs array support functions to support the disc array. The drive controllers in each disc drive are coupled to one another so that the drive controllers can communicate to perform array support functions in cooperation with one another. An array controller is coupled to the drive controllers and each of the plurality of disc drives to control overall operation of the disc drives to store and retrieve information from target locations on the magnetic discs in the disc drives.
