The planning device includes a format-processing sub-logic and a space-allocation sub-logic. The format-processing sub-logic is for creating a formatting information area, for creating an index area for storing index data, and for creating a data area on a designated physical storage disk, and wherein the formatting information defines the index area and the data area. The space-allocation sub-logic is for allocating at least one data block to an upper-layer application in accordance with a size of a document needed to be stored. By adopting the formatting process, users may create the index area and data area on different physical storage disks so as to separate the index area and the data area. In this way, the users may store the information regarding the index area on different storage disks."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Data storage planning","description":"A planning device and method of data storage are disclosed.
