Hi,
Posted a few days ago looking for early, circa 1987 implementations of
RAID beyond RAID0 and RAID1.
In my research, I've come across a fellow named Jan Janku, who proposed
some advanced ideas in 1986.
Does anyone know of him or where I might contact him?
TIA for any response,
steve

You might look into what Thinking Machines was doing. I thought they
had some massively parallel disk setups in the mid '80 for the CM-2.
Wiki says they did something called DataVault in 1985.
(mumble. i never liked the idea of simd. but i did like danny's
tinkertoy tic tac toe machine :-)

Cray was also mumbling about parallel arrays of cheap drives about then,
but I don't think the word "RAID" was mentioned. IIRC, Cray was mostly
interested on how throughput could be improved by striping.

Certainly RAID was around before 1985 - it was just RAD. Disks were
not inexpensive back then.
