ABSTRACT:
A method for writing to multiple recording devices where at least two of the multiple recording devices are configured to respond dissimilarly to a command associated with the writing is provided. The method initiates with establishing a plurality of independent write threads configured to read data from a circular buffer composed of an initial amount of buffer elements. Then, each one of the plurality of independent write threads are associated with one of the multiple recording devices. Next, detection of when a write thread associated with a fastest one of the multiple recording devices is reading a last available buffer element occurs. In response to this detection the method includes adding at least one additional buffer element to the circular buffer. A computer readable medium and a system configured to write to multiple recording devices simultaneously are also provided.
