Abstract
Video data storage apparatus includes a plurality of storage disks arranged to store portions of video frames. Incoming data is analysed to determine the number of storage devices required to store a frame. The data is then written to the storage devices as so determined. In addition, in accordance with the size of an incoming frame, the size of each stripe may also be modified. By adjusting the number stripes and the size of each stripe it is possible to write the optimum amount of data to each stripe thereby enhancing the transfer characterstics.
