ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary storage controlling device is able to assure the data transferring rate even when an irregular occurs. The controlling device comprises a plurality of auxiliary storage units each of which stores the same data, a readout system for reading out said data from said plurality of auxiliary storage units simultaneously in response to a readout command, a detecting system for detecting an auxiliary storage unit in which the reading out of said data is finished at the earliest, a selecting system for selecting said data which is read from said detected auxiliary storage unit, an irregular detecting system for detecting an irregular auxiliary storage unit which is still working, and a readout prohibiting system for prohibiting a consecutive readout command against said irregular auxiliary storage unit. Additional features to assure the data transferring rate are also disclosed.
