  comment = {Early RAID project paper. Describes the Berkeley team's plan to
  use an array of small (100M) hard disks as an I/O server for network file
  service, transaction processing, and supercomputer I/O. Considering
  performance, reliability, and flexibility. Initially hooked to their SPUR
  multiprocessor, using Sprite operating system, new filesystem. Either
  asynchronous striped or independent operation. Supercomputer I/O is
  characterized as sequential, minimum latency, low throughput. Use of parity
  disks to boost reliability. Files may be striped across one or more disks and
  extend over several sectors, thus a two-dimensional filesystem; striping need
  not involve all disks.}
