ABSTRACT:
An adapter for converting an interface of a data storage device is provided. The adapter has a first interface for connection to the interface of the data storage device and a second interface for connection to one or more host systems. The adapter includes a processor for converting commands and data between the first and second interfaces. The adapter transforms the data storage device to emulate physically and logically a higher availability and higher performance native data storage device. The adapter has a first connector compatible with the first interface for attachment to the data storage device and a second connector compatible with the second interface for attachment to the one or more host systems. The first and second connectors are disposed in the adapter in a back to back arrangement. The adapter logically separates commands for the data storage device from commands for the adapter.
