ABSTRACT:
A data storage array is provided such as for a distributed storage system or a consumer electronics device wherein increased data storage capacity is provided at the cost of increased power consumption in relation to industry standard power consumption rates. The array has a plurality of data storage devices, each having an actuator operably disposed in a data storing and retrieving relationship with a data storage medium. The data storage medium is rotated at a speed of substantially greater than 10,000 revolutions per minute, and each of the data storage mediums has a data storage capacity of substantially greater than 100 gigabytes. The increased heat created by the relatively faster rotation speed is handled through improved airflow made possible by a multiple device array constructed in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
