In a recording apparatus, when a plurality of magneto-optic (MO) disks are inserted via a mail slot (12) provided in a front panel block (1), a controller block (23) controls a manipulator of a robotics block (2) so as to load the magneto-optic disks in MO disk arrays (4,5) constituted by connecting a plurality of MO drives and one RAID controller. Then, when a RAID recording system is selected by the user, the controller block (23) controls the recording operation of the MO disk arrays (4,5) in accordance with the selected recording system. More specifically, when a RAID recording system for striping is selected by the user, the controller block (23) divides data supplied from the outside and controls the recording operation of the MO drives so that the MO drives perform recording in parallel. Due to this, it becomes possible to handle data of a high transfer speed, such as for example image data. <IMAGE> |
