  • Tertiary Disk is a + storage system architecture to create large disk storage systems + that avoid the disadvantages of custom built disk arrays. The + name comes from twin goals: to have the cost per megabyte and + capacity of tape libraries and the performance of magnetic + disks. We use commodity, off the shelf components to develop a + scalable, low cost, terabyte capacity disk system. Our target is + to build a complete storage system with about 30-50% extra to + the cost of the raw disk. Tertiary Disk uses PCs connected by a + switched network to host a large number of disks. Our prototype + consists of 20 200MHz PC PCs, which host 370 8GB disks. The PCs + are connected through a 100Mbps Ethernet switch.
