Abstract
A mass storage system for connection to a computer. The mass storage system includes a plurality of independently-controllable storage modules, each storage module having a storage element for storing data in a plurality of storage locations and a retrieval arrangement for retrieving data from selected ones of the storage locations. A word assembly arrangement receives data from the storage modules in parallel and generates in response thereto data words for transfer to the computer system. A system control module selectively enables the retrieval arrangements of the storage modules to retrieve in parallel data from corresponding storage locations of all of the storage elements, or to retrieve data from diverse locations in selected storage modules.
