Abstract
A storage system includes a plurality of drives that write and read data to and from removable storage media communicatively connected to a storage controller. The storage controller receives comprehensible data and divides the comprehensible data into the plurality of data segments comprising the plurality of data units, manipulates one or more of the plurality of data units within each data segment to form the plurality of unintelligible data segments, generates a decoding key based upon the division and the manipulation, and sends each respective unintelligible data segment to the plurality of drives to store upon the removable storage media. The comprehensible data includes a sufficient number of data units arranged in an order of inherent meaning and the unintelligible data segments include an insufficient number of data units to be comprehensible arranged in an order such that the unintelligible data segments are incomprehensible.
