Disk array device
First Claim
1. A disk array device comprising:
- a plurality of hard disk drive modules each having a disk drive for recording data;
a controller module having a controller that controls writing/reading data into/from the disk drives;
a power supply module that supplies power to the plurality of hard disk drive modules and the controller module;
a plurality of fan modules having respective fans that cool the plurality of hard disk drive modules, the controller module, and the power supply module; and
a chassis housing the plurality of hard disk drive modules provided on a front side thereof, and the controller module, the power supply module, and the plurality of fan modules provided on a back side thereof, the controller module and the power supply module being placed between the plurality of fan modules,wherein the power supply module has first air holes used to allow air to flow inside directions toward the plurality of fan modules.

Abstract
A disk array device comprises: a hard disk drive module including a disk for recording information thereon and having one side that has a length substantially equal to the diameter of the disk; a battery module; an operation module; a fan module having at least one cooling fan; a controller module having a controller; a power supply module provided for supplying power to the modules; a circuit board to which the above-mentioned modules are connected via electrical connectors; and a substantially box-shaped chassis in which the modules and the circuit board are housed. A front surface and a rear surface of the chassis are opened in a rectangular shape. A length of one side of the opened front surface of the chassis is substantially the same length as the one side of the hard disk drive module.
