A method for scalable data storage with low power consumption and large capacity

Abstract

The invention relates to a low power consumption large capacity expandable data storage method. The method is applied in a data storage system, and the data storage system includes a low-power industrial control computer, a program-controllable power distribution unit and a hard disk array composed of several hard disks. The data storage method includes two types of storage mode and backup mode. In the storage mode, only one hard disk is turned on at a time, and in the backup mode, at most three hard disks are turned on, and the hard disk array can increase or decrease the number and size of hard disks according to needs, thereby At the same time, the large capacity and low power consumption of the storage device are realized. The invention supports multiple data-generating devices to submit storage tasks at the same time, and can select different industrial control computers according to actual power consumption limitations and capacity requirements, and has strong customization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of data storage, in particular to a low-power consumption large-capacity expandable write-only data storage method. Background technique [0002] In harsh wild environments, such as high-altitude mountains, inland Antarctica, etc., unattended scientific instruments and equipment, such as telescopes, often generate a large amount of data, and harsh wild environments often do not have high-speed and reliable wired and wireless The network, so these data cannot be transmitted to the storage server or the cloud through the network, but can only be stored locally. However, the harsh environment in the wild often has extremely limited power supply, which requires low-power and large-capacity storage devices. At present, commercial storage devices on the market usually consume more than 1000W of power consumption according to their capacity, which cannot meet the data storage requirements of low power consumption ...

[0002] In harsh wild environments, such as high-altitude mountains, inland Antarctica, etc., unattended scientific instruments and equipment, such as telescopes, often generate a large amount of data, and harsh wild environments often do not have high-speed and reliable wired and wireless network, so these data cannot be transmitted to the storage server or the cloud through the network, but can only be stored locally

However, the harsh environment in the wild often has extremely limited power supply, which requires low-power and large-capacity storage devices

At present, commercial storage devices on the market usually consume more than 1000W of power consumption according to their capacity, which cannot meet the data storage requirements of low power consumption and large capacity in the wild environment.
