Design of Space Station era mass storage systems
Ward P. Horner, James R. Chesney · 1988
The architecture, components, and technical approach for a Space Station era mass storage system prototype are described. The primary data storage needs call for such functions as line outage recording, rate buffering, data archiving, and level zero type processing. The prototype mass storage system hardware will be configurable to support three modes of operation at up to 300 Mbps. The system architecture consists of two distinct components: a configurable high-level mass storage control system and a basic storage kernal.
