ABSTRACT:
For attached disk drive operations such a file copy and move, as well as more elaborate processes such as searching, virus-scanning and volume merge, a novel intelligent storage engine concept is disclosed. In one embodiment, a storage engine (40), utilizing local processor intelligence, and accessed through a suitable driver (60) and API (App. B), carries out disk access operations without burdening the host CPU (22) and without imposing data traffic on the local CPU bus (34), except for returning results data in an appropriate case.
