A storage device control apparatus includes a mounting part and an
internal connection part. The mounting part can removably mount channel
control unit, each with a host interface controller formed therein for
receiving data I/O requests, disk control units, each with a disk
interface controller formed therein for performing I/O control of the
data to storage volumes storing data in response to the data I/O
requests, cache memory units, each with a memory formed therein for
storing the data, and storage control units, each with the host interface
controller, the disk interface controller, and the memory formed therein.
The internal connection part connects the channel control units, the disk
control units, the cache memory units, and the storage control units in a
communicable manner.
