ABSTRACT:
A disk drive module is described which externally has the physical and electrical appearance of a single standard 5.25 inch disk drive, but which internally contains five 2.5 inch disk drives and the electronics for operating them as resilient disk array. The disk drives are mounted on printed circuit boards which extend substantially the full length of the module. This provides a high data transfer rate and extremely high data reliability, and because the module has a standard form factor, it can be fitted to all types of system that can accommodate this form factor.
