ABSTRACT:
A disk storage system has a control unit having a plurality of external connection points. When the control unit receives two read requests issued from a processor to two disks of a disk unit group, a first read operation is performed to read data requested by the first read request from one of the disks and a second read operation is performed to read data requested by the second read request from the other one of the disks. Also, a first output operation is performed to output data read by the first read operation from one of the external connection points of the control unit and a second output operation is performed to output data read by the second read operation from another of the external connection points of the control unit. The second output operation is started before the first output operation has finished.
