Dual port storage device performing peer-to-peer communication with external device without intervention of host

摘要

A storage device is provided. The storage device includes a field programmable gate array board connected to a first port of the storage device; and a storage controller including a first interface circuit and a second interface circuit. The first interface circuit is connected to the FPGA board, the second interface circuit is connected to a second port of the storage device, at least one port from among the first port and the second port being configured to connect to an external storage device, and the FPGA board is configured to provide a path for transferring data in a peer-to-peer manner between the storage controller and the external storage device without intervention of a host.
