IBM uses both the term Mass Storage Facility and the term Mass Storage System.
From IBM 3850 Mass Storage System (MSS) Principles of Operation, GA32-0029-0 :
"The IBM 3850 Mass Storage System is made up of three physical components:
1. The IBM 3851 Mass Storage Facility
2. The Staging Adapter (either the IBM 3830 Model 3 or the ISC with Staging
Adapter)
3. The IBM 3333 Disk Storage Control and IBM 3330 Modell, 2, or 11 Disk
Storage Units. "
