A data storage array comprises an enclosure having a plurality of data storage devices mounted therein, each of the storage devices including an optical receiver and transmitter. An optical data path is defined within the enclosure by, for example, two mirrors located at opposite ends of the enclosure. The optical receiver and transmitter of each device is positioned in the data path, for transmitting and receiving data to and from the receiver and transmitter of the other storage devices within the enclosure. |
