The '''RP10 disk controller''' is a [[disk]] [[device controller]] primarily for the early [[PDP-10]] models ([[KA10]] and [[KI10]]) which had the PDP-10 [[input/output|I/O]] [[bus]] as a standard bus.

It works with the [[RP01 disk drive|RP01]], [[RP02 disk drive|RP02]] and [[RP03 disk drive]]s; up to 8 drives per controller. It uses a [[DF10 Data Channel]] unit to perform [[Direct Memory Access|DMA]] to [[main memory]].

The RP10 has the ability to perform [[seek]]s on multiple drives simultaneously.
