Abstract: A method for a controller of a hard disk including a plurality of platters, each platter including a data storage surface, the method including: obtaining data blocks, each block having to be or being stored on the hard disk, the number of blocks being less than that of surfaces of platters; calculating a redundancy data block based on each block, the number of redundancy data blocks added to the number of blocks being less than or equal to that of surfaces of platters; writing the redundancy data block on a platter surface, separate from the surfaces for storing each block; accessing data blocks corresponding to a data item to read from the hard disk and accessing a redundancy data block corresponding to the data item to read, each block accessed and each redundancy data block associated with the data item to read being accessed on a separate platter surface; and checking the integrity of the data item.

Abstract: A blade of components for a computer system, intended to be inserted into a computer system rack, is disclosed. In one aspect, it includes a frame with means for electrically connecting to the computer rack, and a computer component holder having a plurality of through-slots configured to receive computer components translatably along the longitudinal direction of the slot. The component holder is movably mounted by means of a slide connection in relation to the frame, such that it can move between a first position in which the holder is inserted substantially into the frame and a second position in which the holder is at least partially removed from the frame, such that the vertical line of all of the slots is kept free along the longitudinal direction of each in order to allow the translatable insertion and extraction of computer components along the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blade (10) of components (40) for a computer system, intended to be inserted into a computer system rack and comprising: a frame (20) with means (21) for electrically connecting to the computer rack, and a computer component holder (30) having a plurality of through-slots (31) configured to receive computer components (40) translatably along the longitudinal direction of the slot. The component holder (30) is movably mounted by means of a slide connection in relation to the frame (20), such that it can move between a first position in which the holder is inserted substantially into the frame and a second position in which the holder is at least partially removed from the frame, such that the vertical line of all of the slots (31) is kept free along the longitudinal direction of each in order to allow the translatable insertion and extraction of computer components (40) along said longitudinal direction.
