Abstract:
Provided is an enclosure for use in a modular storage system, the enclosure comprising a plurality of drive bays, a controller canister, an expansion canister, and a midplane connecting the drive bays to the canisters, wherein the controller canister occupies a greater volume of the enclosure than the expansion canister.

Claim (Index 28):
A modular storage system comprising:\n a plurality of drive bays for disk drives; a first enclosure including:\n a first controller canister including first controller canister processing components comprising a processor, memory for use by the processor, and first controller canister hardware to communicate with the disk drives when positioned in the drive bays and coupled to the drive bays; \n a first expansion canister including first expansion canister processing components, and first expansion canister hardware required to communicate with the disk drives when positioned in the drive bays, wherein the first expansion canister processing components comprise instances of a subset of fewer of the first controller canister processing components in the first controller canister, wherein the first controller canister occupies a greater volume of the first enclosure than the first expansion canister; and \n at least one first power supply supplying power to the first controller canister and the first expansion canister; and \n a second enclosure including:\n a second controller canister including second controller canister processing components comprising a processor, memory for use by the processor, and second controller canister hardware to communicate with the disk drives when positioned in the drive bays; and \n a second expansion canister including second expansion canister processing components and second expansion canister hardware required to communicate with the disk drives when positioned in the drive bays, wherein the second expansion canister processing components comprise instances of a subset of fewer of instances of the second controller canister processing components in the second controller canister, wherein the second controller canister occupies a greater volume of the second enclosure than the second expansion canister; and \n at least one second power supply supplying power to the second controller canister and the second expansion canister.
