ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the invention include a method and apparatus to transfer data from a peripheral device directly to a disc drive storage system. In one aspect, the disc drive uses a transfer protocol that determines the types, sizes and data location structure for each file. In another aspect, the disc drive includes a file allocation table that stores the file location for the peripheral devices on the disc drive to increase the file transfer efficiency and speed.
