ABSTRACT:
A data processing system is disclosed having a direct access storage device (DASD) subsystem comprising a number of separate physical housings, each housing having a number of disk supporting spindles mounted therein. The velocity of rotation of the spindles within a housing is synchronized, and the rotational position of the spindles may be locked into a fixed relationship. When number N of disk supporting spindles are provided, spindle rotation is synchronized, and mirrored data files are written out of phase by 360/N degrees, thereby providing reduced latency time during a subsequent read operation, while at the same time providing data integrity through the use of redundant data files.
