The invention discloses a storage system, a storage appliance and a control appliance. The storage system comprises the control appliance and at least two storage appliances, wherein the control appliance comprises a system controller and a converter, the converter is connected with the system controller, and in addition, the converter is provided with at least two first interfaces, wherein at least two first interfaces are single-passage serial microcomputer system interfaces, or at least two first interfaces are peripheral element expansion x1 interfaces, each storage appliance comprises a connector and a storage unit, each connector comprises a second interface and a third interface, the second interface of each connector is connected with a first interface of the converter, and a third interface of the connector is connected with the storage unit, so the two storage appliances are parallelly connected with the control appliance. Through adopting the mode, the parallel connection of the storage appliance to the control appliance can be realized, the access time delay of the partial storage appliance is reduced, and the storage volume expansion of the storage system is convenient.
