Abstract

A storage system for data words in which error correction bits are generated for each data word and are stored independently from the data word on a separate mechanically-driven medium. In another aspect, the storage system serves a wide high throughput parallel bus by storing different portions of each data word that appears on the bus in different asynchronous storage units.
