    • A disk array apparatus of the invention improves the drop of quality of Fibre Channel signals corresponding to mounting positions of disk drives. The disk array apparatus comprises a plurality of disk drives including first to fourth groups of a plurality of disk drives each of which stores data, wherein the first group of a plurality of disk drives and the second group of a plurality of disk drives are arranged in row, the third group of a plurality of disk drives and the fourth group of a plurality of disk drives are arranged in row different from the row of the first and second group of a plurality of disk drives; a first data relay device for connecting a first group of a plurality of data transfer paths wired in a direction orthogonally intersecting the row direction and to be connected to the first group of a plurality of disk drives through a first loop-like data transfer path, and for serially transferring the data transferred from the disk adaptor to the first group of a plurality of data transfer paths through the first loop-like data transfer path; a second data relay device for connecting a second group of a plurality of data transfer paths wired in a direction orthogonally intersecting the row direction and to be connected to the second group of a plurality of disk drives through a second loop-like data transfer path, and for serially transferring the data transferred from the disk adaptor to the second group of a plurality of data transfer paths through the second loop-like data transfer path; a third data relay device for connecting a third group of a plurality of data transfer paths wired in a direction orthogonally intersecting the row direction and to be connected to the third group of a plurality of disk drives through a third loop-like data transfer path, and for serially transferring the data transferred from the disk adaptor to the third group of a plurality of. data transfer paths through the third loop-like data transfer path; and a fourth data relay device for connecting a fourth group of a plurality of data transfer paths wired in a direction orthogonally intersecting the row direction and to be connected to the fourth group of a plurality of disk drives through a fourth loop-like data transfer path, and for serially transferring the data transferred from the disk adaptor to the fourth group of a plurality of data transfer paths through the fourth loop-like data transfer path; the first and third relay devices being interposed between the first group of a plurality of disk drives and the third group of a plurality of disk drives; the second and fourth relay devices being interposed between the second group of a plurality of disk drives and the fourth group of a plurality of disk drives.
