Zusammenfassung:A system and method for striping data to multiple storage devices (106) is disclosed. One embodiment of the present invention sequentially gates data to a plurality of buffers (304), wherein only those buffers (304) corresponding to storage devices (106) in use are induced to gate in data. The data is then sent to the storage devices (106) in parallel. Other embodiments further include the use of striping buffers alternatingly used to gate in data, and transfer data to the storage devices.
