Abstract

In case of consecutive transmission of a large amount of data such as dynamic image data, a multi-media storage system of the invention generates and transmits data stored in a faulty disk drive when one of a plurality of disk drives being faulty caused by an internal calibration or an error of the disk drive and the faulty disk drive does not respond within a predetermined length of time set in a timeout table. The multi-media storage system cancels an access to the faulty disk drive, generates data to be read from the faulty disk drive based on data stored in the other disk drives of the plurality of disk drives and the redundant data and continues to transmit data.
