  • Storage system that includes a plurality of routing circuits and a plurality of node modules connected thereto
    Patent number: 10506042
    Abstract: A storage system includes a storage unit having a plurality of routing circuits electrically networked with each other, each of the routing circuits being locally connected to a plurality of node modules, each of which includes nonvolatile memory, the plurality of node modules forming at least first and second storage regions, and a plurality of connection units, each connected to one or more of the routing circuits, and access the first and second storage regions through one or more of the routing circuits in accordance with a command. When one of the connection units receives a command to write second data into the first storage region while first data are being read out from the first storage region, said one of the connection units writes the second data into both the first and second storage regions.
