Data Bank Providing Connectivity Among Multiple Mass Storage Media Devices Using Daisy Chained Universal Bus Interface
US Patent:
7008234, Mar 7, 2006
Filed:
Jan 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/045741
Inventors:
Donald L. Brown - Holliston MA, US
Assignee:
Interactive Media Corporation - Millis MA
International Classification:
H01R 9/09, H01R 12/02
US Classification:
439 61, 710 74
Abstract:
A data storage system that houses at least two mass storage devices in an enclosure, along with all interconnect cabling electronics to permit access through a shared universal-type interface. An enclosure houses multiple mass storage devices such as disk drives. A set of bridges located within the enclosure provides connectivity from the disk interface to the universal-type bus. Bridge outputs are coupled to a universal hub also located within the enclosure to provide a single port interface to the array of disks. The arrangement thus provides for connectivity to multiple mass storage devices housing in a single enclosure with a single universal bus interface.
