A disk array system includes storage devices 300, a storage device control unit 140, a connection unit 150 being connected with the storage device control unit, channel control units 110, a shared memory 120, and a cache memory 120. Each channel control unit includes a first processor for converting file data, received through a local area network outside of the disk array system to which the channel control units belong, into block data and requesting storage of the converted data in the plurality of storage devices and a second processor for transferring the block data to the storage devices through the connection unit and the storage device control unit in response to a request given from the first processor and is connected with the connection unit and the local area network. Control information and software relating to the processors may also be stored on the storage devices for sharing. |
