Abstract
A data recording and reproducing apparatus ( ) which generates a plurality of divided data through dividing input data D using a distributor ( ) if recording data, while generating redundancy-code data P and P using Read-Solomon-code data which can perform error-correcting on a plurality of divided data, and records the divided data and the redundancy-code data P , P on HDDs to and . The data recording and reproducing apparatus ( ) reproduces the divided data and the redundancy-code data from the HDDs to and , performs error-correcting processing on the divided data based on the redundancy-code data by an error corrector ( ), and outputs the divided data which have been error-corrected after multiplying the divided data by a data multiplier ( ) if reproducing data.
