Abstract This invention provides a storage apparatus which can avoid a data lost even when a short-circuit fault occurs in a power source line which is not made redundant for a plurality of hard disk drives. In the storage apparatus, a storage control unit comprises a host interface control unit, a disk interface control unit, a cache memory, and a data transfer unit, and a storage unit includes poly switches provided for each of the power source lines to a plurality of hard disk drives and a power source line monitor circuit for monitoring the voltage of the power source line. When the voltage abnormality due to a voltage drop of the power source line is detected by the power source line monitor circuit, a data line connecting the disk interface control unit and the plurality of hard disk drives is cut off.
