Data blocks and redundant data are distributed across disk drives. In response to a first read request transmitted from a host device, a controller issues second read requests to read the data blocks and the redundant data from the disk drives. Further, the controller detects the disk drive which is no longer required to read the data block or redundant data from among the disk drives, and issues a read termination command to the detected disk drive to terminate reading therefrom. In a disk array device with such structure, even reading of one parity data with much time required does not affect other reading.
