An automated data library system includes a data library housing drive clusters. The drive clusters include drive arrays of disk drives. The drive clusters are statically mounted within the data library and are not powered when not in use. The system includes a robotic librarian operable for moving about the data library to locate, engage, and access a desired drive cluster. The robotic librarian includes its own power source for providing power to the desired drive cluster in order to enable operation of the desired drive cluster. The robotic librarian further includes a cooling device for cooling off desired drive cluster while the drive cluster is operating. The robotic librarian further includes a writer and a reader for writing data to and reading data from the disk drives of the desired drive cluster using the connection while the desired drive cluster is operating.
