Abstract
A Data Storage Device (DSD) includes a plurality of storage areas for storing data. A command is received from a host to write data or read data in the DSD, and a storage area is identified for writing the data or reading the data for the command. An internal command is sent to the identified storage area to write the data or read the data for the command using an Ethernet protocol. In another aspect, a command is received from a controller of a DSD to copy data from one storage area to a different storage area of the DSD. The different storage area is identified using an address included in the command received from the controller, and the data for the command is read from the storage area. The data is sent to the different storage area using the address included in the command received from the controller.
