Abstract
The invention discloses a data storage system and managing method thereof. The data storage system according to the invention includes N storage devices, a backup memory and a controller where N is a natural number. Each storage device has a respective write cache. Once the data storage system suffers from power failure, the backup memory still reserves data stored therein. The controller receives data transmitted from an application I/O request unit, executes a predetermined operation for the received data to generate data to be written, transmits the data to be written to the write caches of the storage devices, duplicates the data to be written into the backup memory, and labels the duplicated data in the backup memory as being valid in response to a writing confirm message sent from the storage devices.
