Abstract :
The conventional data recorder is based on the tape for physics experiments. A modular disk recorder is developed that consists of data-splitting modules (DSM), data-recording modules (DRM) and commodity disk drives. This innovative disk recorder has a better performance and higher reliability than the tape recorder. It can be configured flexibly as different redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) structures to record acquired data according to different applications.
