Redundant Array Of Inexpensive Disk Systems TRIZ Cases
- XOR Buffer CRC Checking for Hard Disk Data Corruption Detection
A hard disk XOR buffer stores CRC with XOR results to detect buffer corruption without added parity-bit space and cost.
- On-Chip Shared Memory Switch for RAID-on-a-Chip Scalability
Global shared memory switch reduces off-chip latency and DMA complexity by providing unified on-chip resources for parallel processing.
- Disk Array Controller Error Counting and Warning Mode
Error counters identify at-risk disk drives in the array, triggering a warning mode that restricts access to prevent premature failure during data restoration.
- Tape Drive Utilization and Performance Monitoring
A tape storage system calculates drive utilization and performance metrics to identify high and low-performing units.
- Disk Drive BLOB Key Storage for Controller Failure
Storing encrypted keys on drives prevents controller entrapment and eliminates central server single points of failure.
- External Parameter File for Storage Device Servicing
External parameter file resolves adaptability complexity trade-off by decoupling configuration from operating system code.
