Abstract
A method of storing data on a peripheral rotating disk memory system, which is connected to one of a plurality of central processor units via a common bus including temporarily storing, in an intermediate memory system connected to the bus, original data packets which are to be stored in the disk memory system separating data block and commands of the original data packets received by the intermediate memory system from each other, creating composite data packets containing a new command and all data of a number of original data packets received by the intermediate memory system, writing the composite data packets via the bus on the rotating disk memory device, and purging the intermediate memory system after completing a write operation.
