Abstract: A system and a method for data storage means includes a set of data storage sub-assemblies and connectable to storage control means adapted to retrieve, for a plurality of simultaneous user applications, data stored in the data storage means. The method divides a data composition into a plurality of payload data subsets, and stores the payload data subsets in the data storage sub-assemblies. The storage control means is adapted to retrieve, for a user application, the payload data subsets in a predetermined retrieving sequence, wherein a sequence of a number of payload data subsets, which number corresponds to the number of data storage sub-assemblies in the set of data storage sub-assemblies, and which payload data subsets follow sequentially one immediately upon the other in the retrieving sequence, are stored in separate ones of the data storage sub-assemblies in the set of data storage sub-assemblies.
