isk array systems such as reliable arrays of independent disks (RAID) are used to reliably store data by essentially spreading the data over plural disk drives operating in concert. Arrays of storage devices increase the capacity of disk storage systems by providing more storage capacity than is available using individual disks. An array improves storage performance by providing parallel data paths to read and write information over an array of disks. RAID is an array of storage devices to store computer data. It is an acronym for a redundant array of inexpensive drives. RAIDs consist of a plurality of disk drives configured to operate simultaneously. An analog storage array is an array of
switches, such as field effect
transistors, and
capacitors arranged so that each capacitor in turn may be connected through one or more of the switches to an analog signal line, and then disconnected to store the signal value at the time of disconnection on the selected capacitor.
