Abstract(in English) The ratio of disk access time in processing time of computer system increase recently. The number of consolidated storage systems which have more than one parallel workload also increase. High performance I/O is often required in those consolidated storage systems. For reducing disk access time, RAID disk arrays are used for improving access performance as well as avoiding data loss due to disk failure. However, RAID does not reduce seek time due to random accesses. In this paper, we propose seek time reduction method using data redundancy of disk array. We evaluated the effect of our method on reducing seek time with simulating RAID1 disk array. Our method reduce average TAT (Turn Around Time) on environment with continuous ramdom read access commands.
