ABSTRACT:
Broadly speaking, a method and an apparatus is provided for processing access commands directed to a striped configuration of disks. More specifically, the method and apparatus determines a physical block address corresponding to a logical address in a redundant array of independent disks level 0 (RAID 0) system. Bit-level operations are incorporated to determine a disk in the RAID 0 system and a block number on the disk that corresponds to a particular logical address. Since the bit-level operations replace traditionally required division and modulo operations, the method and apparatus provides for more efficient processing of access commands directed to the RAID 0 system.
