Abstract: This invention provides a file system for organizing files in a data processing and handling device. A set of annotations signifying locations or time in files are provided. A search process combines annotations and intervals together into a final result. A user interface is operatively connected to the device that allows the user to enter requests and data. Illustratively, the user requests the intervals in files that corresponds to a search criteria and the search process searches through the annotations and combines them to find the intervals in files or groups of files where the condition is true, and the intervals of the found files are arranged to be displayed to the user on the interface.

Abstract: A system and method for high speed data recording includes a control computer and a disk pack unit. The disk pack is provided within a shell that provides handling and protection for the disk packs. The disk pack unit provides cooling of the disks and connection for power and disk signaling. A standard connection is provided between the control computer and the disk pack unit. The disk pack units are self sufficient and able to connect to any computer. Multiple disk packs are connected simultaneously to the system, so that one disk pack can be active while one or more disk packs are inactive. To control for power surges, the power to each disk pack is controlled programmatically for the group of disks in a disk pack.
