Batch-correlated failures result from the manifestation of a common defect in most, if not all, disk drives belonging to the same production batch. They are much less frequent tha...
Hard disk drive failures are rare but are often costly. The ability to predict failures is important to consumers, drive manufacturers, and computer system manufacturers alike. In...
The initial iSCSI products provide a means to connect FC SAN islands across IP networks. This paper describes the implementation of an IP-SAN where the disk subsystem is a virtual...

Parallel disk I/O subsystems are becoming more important in today’s large-scale parallel machines. Parallel disk systems provide a significant boost in I/O performance reducing ...
We present the notion of a type-safe disk (TSD). Unlike a traditional disk system, a TSD is aware of the pointer relationships between disk blocks that are imposed by higher layer...
