In its simplest form an Array is a series of hard disks conected to one desktop computer.
More complex Arrays can be Redundant Array Inexpensive Disks or the Array could be Network Attached Storage depending on what the network requirements are.
A disk array serves many purposes. It is a disk storage system that is capable of storing multiple disk drives. This product increases the availability and maintainability of stored information.
Software Disk Array
For example: if you want to store data on a disk, it will be a file, not an array.
ANSWER Any two of the following: ■ Install faster hard disk drives. ■ Install additional hard disk drives and split your data among them, reducing the I/O burden on each drive. ■ Replace standalone drives with a RAID (redundant array of independent disks) array. ■ Add more disk drives to an existing RAID array.
total disk space would be about 400 gb

It is called RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks).
Phased array sensors (PAS) for optical encoders are common in standard encoder in order to avoid reticles to match the code disk. Array of photodiodes are organised to recognize the disk ticks and make A and B channels. More information on Micropto web site. Typically phased array sensor (PAS) are monolithic silicon microchips with electronics to amplify the low signals from the photodiodes. Dimension of array on PAS is the limit of the resolution disk, each disk need a specific PAS pitch. Optical encoders adopt PAS or other sensors (phototransistors arrays, monolithics, ASIC, ...) to recognize the position and the speed of the motors in motion control.
